Over the past decade, I’ve worked with various advertising and marketing firms, each contributing to my growth as a creative leader. My journey includes leading teams at business consulting agencies, establishing my agency—Hillmann & Hakeem—and delivering successful campaigns for an impressive roster of clients, including British Airways, Nike Basketball (Philippines), Chupa Chups, Quanta, and Teleplan.
At FALCON, I’ve crafted result-driven creative solutions for prominent clients such as Motul, M1, Scoot, NETS, Tokyo Marine, and Canon. As a Senior Creative at TAK Products and Services Pte Ltd, I collaborate closely with the marketing team and company directors to develop bespoke solutions that transcend print and digital mediums.
And now, as a Senior Lead Designer at Smart2nd Oy, a dynamic e-commerce software company, I’m at the forefront of creativity and innovation. My focus is crafting seamless UI/UX designs for our website, ensuring an exceptional user experience. Additionally, I’ve played a pivotal role in enhancing our brand presence across social media platforms. It’s an exciting journey as we redefine digital experiences!
