In-house designers can feel like studio designers or freelancers have it made with job satisfaction. Those guys get to work with a variety of clients, create new things on a regular basis and their work is the main product of the business. With in-housers, we work only for one client and have an existing look and feel to adhere to, and if we work in a non-creative field, our work is specifically a support role for others who "do the business of the business".
This presentation is an outline of how I have found a good life working as an in-houser in a non-creative industry.
I am working to turn this into an article to be published at a later date.
Hi, I'm Ivan-Ng Zi Yang. This Digital Portfolio is a collection of my learning process, experiences, knowledge and skills to provide viewers with an understanding of my personality as well as evidences of my efforts.
I am a dedicated creative professional with +10 years experience in digital marketing. My innate curiosity and hands-on attitude made me develop a wide range of skills, from copywriting to graphic design, from web application development to project management. My strongest asset, I believe, must be my talent to merge business objectives with creative delivery. Hence I’m a great supporter of design thinking methodology which believes that true innovation can only emerge when we are able to step outside of our framework of thoughts. Apart from my day job I’m also involved in some startups.

Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.
