Short Bio

Hi, I am Jacky Ip. I'm from Hong Kong (HK), but currently relocated to Metro Vancouver, BC.

(I've nothing related to Jackie Chan or Ip Man, if you are wondering)

I am a professional multimedia artist with 9 years of experience in a wide range of media productions, seeking to expand my experience in various media production pipelines toward a career goal as a creative director.

Having worked in the high-pressure working style of Hong Kong for 8 years, the fast-paced work life has honed my ability to multitask, learn quickly, and handle stress and pressure very well.

More about myself.
I have enjoyed gaming since childhood, but I didn't stop as a casual gamer. I pushed my limits and became an e-sports player for 2 years in 2010! During that time, my team was the champion (冠軍) of several competitions sponsored by Razer and Nvidia.

Sadly, e-sports was not a big trend yet in 2010. I stopped playing as a professional player and decided to study game design in the United States.
But my passion is not limited to gaming! I strive to make the most out of every aspect of myself. For example, I have become an expert airsoft player, specializing in modifying complicated airsoft systems for 13 years now, all stemming from a small hobby in airsoft and paintball sports. Additionally, I hold a Manual Lifting & Handling Training Certificate from the HK Occupational Safety & Health Council, which allows me to perform labor work in Hong Kong. I obtained this certificate to better handle 20kg heavy products during my studio position at First 4 Figures.....
In short, I live, I learn, and I enjoy every moment of it.
