Alex Lam
Adventure, entrepreneur, internet, social media, travel, photography, videography, exPC-now-Mac-user, Church2.0 and people are descriptive words that adorn

His current day job entails managing Integricity Corporation which has since evolved in the last 9 years, from a webhosting company, into a full-fledged digital interactive agency, amongst other ventures. Today, Integricity makes waves primarily on the web when setting free new campaigns so they can soar higher and achieve quantifiable results.

Kenneth Hiew
Starting out as a graphic designer and a 3D modeller, Kenneth has been very blessed to be given chances to dabble in various creative fields. Studying IT in college, he decided it was not his calling, as he was spending more (stolen class) time on 3D Studio bringing his college presentations to life than on the C language. Coming back from the UK after his Masters, he started bluffing students teaching advertising at the Multimedia University while running a new media advertising company doing graphics, websites and design.
His interest in movies turned to a passion, which led to a vocation, and then to MVA awards for editing in short films. He then turned his attention to photography, specifically in fine art, photojournalism, portraits and landscapes, and was pleasantly surprised when 4 of his works were accepted into the National Art Gallery in 2005 without much pestering. He is currently head of Revelation Visuals which does photo and video for events, weddings, corporate, commercial, fashion, and portraits. He lives in a quiet suburb of Shah Alam where squirrels run free and birds attempt to wake him, though he sleeps till 11am, with his dog, Winnie. All thanks and kudos to God.
