Graduated from the Industrial Design Department of Hong Kong Polytechnic and started as a product designer, Ron had also worked as full time graphic designer. Later, he started up his own practice as design consultant providing industrial and graphic design services to local and overseas customers.

In 1999, Ron was appointed as Creative Director by Safilo Far East, the regional head office of Safilo Group, one of the leading fashion eyewear manufacturers and distributors in the world. Ron was responsible for the regional creative marketing activities and brand guardian.

Browsing through Ron’s portfolio, one might easily find an obvious motif among his works: a distinctive flair of simplicity. "I won't deny if people regard me as a hard lining minimalist; actually, I'd feel that as a compliment. Simplicity always possesses the magical charm, which is timeless, tasty, classy and causing impact - and always sells" Says Ron. "To me, Design is not to satisfy the designer, and not even the project client, but the end users.”

“I believe a good blend of innovation, sense and taste in design can bring a better difference to our life and the world we live in” Upholding such believe, Ron has been an enthusiast to promote the identity and value of "Hong Kong Design" through his projects.

Now besides his creative practice, Ron is also active in advocating the importance of design and innovation to the industry, being speaker at various forums, symposiums and lectures for various trade organizations and educational institutes.
