JerichoDizon.

Jericho began his career just the other day, which just so happened to be a Tuesday in 2007. He immersed himself in advertising, fighting tooth and nail to become an established art director. Once known as a punk musician who played in chaotic underground shows.

He still has a passion for music and is also in pursuit of covering 80% of his body with tattoos. He is currently based in Dubai, but has lived and worked in several countries including Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the Philippines. In his free time, he enjoys gaming, coding, and has a passion for creating his own games in the future. He also likes to smoke. Although he can be sarcastic, he is also known to be friendly and approachable.

In his own words
  • As a kid, I was drawn to contemporary art, underground music, philosophy, and counter-culture.
  • I'm 62% covered in tattoos, but don't let that fool you. I'm a soft-spoken person.
  • I switched from coding C++ to advertising, where I could flex my artistic muscles.
  • Advertising has given me the opportunity to live and travel all over the world.
  • I'm now a proud father of two beautiful daughters and a husband to the strongest, sweetest woman I've ever met.
  • I believe in empathy, selflessness, and hard work, and that these virtues will always serve you well in life.
