Born and raised in a not-so-traditional urban family, Red was well-provided in terms of education. From the early years of his life, he was exposed to English and Art, and he took a liking to the Sciences as well. He apparently "inherited" his artistic side from his grandfather, who was a draughsman and an ardent stamp collector. He started drawing from when he could remember, and had not stopped since. Red gradually moved from pencil and pencil colour to water colour, poster colour and finally acrylics.

In 1991, he made his first sci-fi costume, and had since designed and/or constructed more than 60 different costumes for theatre, drama and cosplay. He also had the chance to construct a suit of armour that was used in a tv commercial in Vietnam! Red focuses mainly on sci-fi and fantasy themed costumes, and would sometimes venture into historical ones. To him, costumes design is a form of "scientific art" or "artistic science", whichever way one would call it.

Red is greatly influenced by the works of Tolkien, Lucas, Spielberg, Vallejo, Royo, the Weta Workshop design team and Marvel artists. His visual art is fantasy-based, and he has his soulmate, Ni'Sya, to inspire him...

His involvement in cosplay in Penang has led him to the front line of the cosplay crusade, and as a result, Red had been invited to give talks and courses on costumes and costuming, and had become judge to several cosplay competitions in Penang, the latest being ACGC, which was held at Gurney Plaza on 29th June 2008.

Red's involvement in costumes and cosplay is not just limited to Penang. He is a regular at the Myscififan Outpost in Cineleasure Damansara, and many of his customers are from Kuala Lumpur. His props had also reached across the border to Singapore. His most recent achievement would be a "creative intervention" exhibition at USM's Tuanku Fauziah Museum & Gallery, where six of his personal costumes are on display. He can also be found on Elfwood and DeviantART.

His latest achievement is becoming the first Malaysian member of the Mandalorian Mercs, an international Star Wars costuming club catering to custom Mandalorian costumers.

Despite being so much involved into art, he has a degree in Marine Biology and a Diploma in Education...

Any open-minded persons who share my passion for costumes, props, science fiction and fantasy...
