The studio is headed by multi award winning creative director Jay FC, original founder of ChinaStylus and voted one of the ‘40 Most Outstanding Designers in Greater China’ by Perspective Magazine.
Prior to setting up the company, Jay FC had reached Creative Director level with some of Hong Kong’s most respected international advertising agencies including McCann Erickson, Leo Burnett, DDB and Bates. During a ten year advertising career, he won awards at Hong Kong 4As, Asia Ad Awards, New York Festivals, Clio and many others. Jay FC began his creative career at advertising agency Bates in his native London.
When he’s not in the studio, Jay FC spends as much time as possible either on or in the water with his two young sons, and can occasionally still be seen out and about DJing at a local venue (though he’s officially retired).
From running the studio everyday to managing clients' expectations as well as handling every project, this mother to a five year old daughter has all the energy she needs to keep going. She will always find a smile no matter how bad the day is. Thanks to her flying experience, she's still got the Singapore Girl smile and everybody in the studio adores her!
With creative freedom and encouragement, MOn has grown happily in the studio after attaining a first class honours degree. Now no one is able to get in the way of her stubborn and relentless pursuit of detail oriented perfection. Apart from being a designer during the day, she also draws rabbits to help solve communication problems back at home.
This 153cm tall girl who looks like a 14-year-old, was destined for the design world ever since she made her own paper toys back in kindergarten. Now she's a 24-hour designer - feeding herself with enough sleep, music, books, crafts, backpacking, google, family, love, friends, faith and dreams. She believes that great design starts with life's details.
The latest addition to Team Stylus, fresh out of college and new to the studio. He thinks he drew better when he was a kid, but he's certainly not lost his love and passion. And we think there's plenty more talent in there just waiting to come out. He likes to use his quirky illustration style to better express the weird thoughts that cross his mind.
Fever intented to be an artist, but while at university, he discovered graphic design and soon developed a passion for it. He joined the team in 2008 and has since worked across the board - identities, illustrations, posters, books and even uniforms. He believes that "the best designers have the biggest dustbins" - and he's now working on his own dustbin.
A full time Styler for more than two years, Friendly now helps out in the studio when we need her unique retouching, illustration and contemporary design skills. This leaves her just about enough time to pursue her many other creative interests, including her own magazine Invasian, solo exhibitions and an artist in residence scheme in Germany.
