5 Minutes with Eco Warrior JayLim


"Art is in his blood. He sees like no other.
Jay believes there is life to every designer piece he works on. The garden city is a passport to his dream, making a breakthrough in advertising that will be of value to his clients. His garden of works is the result of intensive planning and execution of ideas which involves the collaboration of the two.
A graduate from Dasein Academy of Arts Malaysia, Jay majored in Graphic Design. He then ventured into the advertising industry for four years, adding more titles to his belt. He was interview by the media in print and electronically. An award-winner and visionary, his designs are a blend of the western and the orient. His final touches speak of his individuality.
Jay lives to be a perfectionist. When he means it, he does it with enthusiasm. His designs, however, revolve around his state of mind and the nature of things. As a 'kidult', he goes around collecting limited editions of designer creations. He reads a wide range of graphic design magazines and travels to other parts of the world with just one desire- to inspire and be inspired.
His passion for arts has brought him up in life, thus, making his mark in Canada, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. He had launched an exhibition of his own - 'Hanabi: The Fire of Passion - JayLim Special Edition 2006'.
Jay has worked with local and international brands. His clientele include Sony, DiGi Telecommunications, U Moblie, Sony Music, Bridal Guide, Standard Chartered, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and a string of discotheques.
The road to success has never been easy. He is thankful to his family for their support and guidance from his lecturers, whom without them, JayLim will never be where he is today."
