  Attention to detail // That power to create a bigger picture within a picture.Filling a blank canvas with a story.I HAVE THAT POWER. Not one that can save the world, but at least one that can make a difference for your brand. It isn't just about creating a design that looks good, but the ability lies where you can connect the brand with their consumers. It isn't as easy as it sounds, but to me, that is the fun part! Creating fresh, out of the box ideas that will go a long way and still be meaningful.Quoting Conor McGregor:"There is no talent here. This is hard work. This is an obsession. Talent does not exist, we are all equals as human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that's that. I am not talented, I am obsessed."And ending it off with one from Cristiano Ronaldo:"We don't want to tell our dreams. We want to show them!" Show less Kenneth leads AKÏN’s team of creative designers. Together, they work across various mediums and platforms to translate conceptual ideas into visually impactful and effective designs. To date, he has helped clients like Redcross, Singapore Sports Hub, Better Internet Council (IMDA), National Library Board, AirBnB, Aroma Truffles, Overseas Singaporean Unit (OSU), GTRIIP, AMCONICS, Home-Fix, White & Co. visualise their dreams.FUTURE-PROOF, HUMAN-CENTRIC MARKETINGAKÏN designs marketing strategies for a restless digital generation.
