Co-founder of Kelvin and Frank Reid. Believes in design has no segregation and can be multidisciplinary. Believes in reinventing the wheel to create new. Believes in learning 10,000 things one lifetime rather then learning one thing 10,000 times. Believes in starting off as underdog will naturally work harder and eventually outperform. Believes in harmony, making competitor friends not foes.

Do not believe that multiple attempts will still lead to failure. Do not believe that thinking vigorously will lead to no solutions. Do not believe that academic will limit you to places and cast a single path future. Do not believe that good things will simply land on your laps without working on it. Do not believe in luck.

Jo used to fly for Singapore Airlines for 13 years, and she developed the interest to shoot, caprturing moments during her flying days. One fine day, she found herself hoping to know more about wedding photography; and that led to the beginning of freelance photography while juggling her flights. After doing that for two years, she decided to turn full time in 2017. Though Frank saw Jo at Crystal Yeap’s wedding (one of our Creativians as well) back in 2018, she was only being introduced and recommended by Crystal to Frank, since Jo expressed the interest to explore further, other than wedding photography. This matches well at the right time, with the right frame of mind, and the trust to take on any photography work together. It was a great experience working on our Creativians’ profile picture shooting, professional, fast and precise, checking in to every detail; our synergy promises great outcome.
