Keyis Ng, 24
Founder, STORM Creative Events Agency
Named by CNNGo in 2011 as ‘The Next Big Name In Singapore Fashion’, Keyis Ng is the founder of Singapore’s leading fashion lifestyle events and public relations firm, STORM Creative Events Agency.
He is also the co-founder of the world’s first Digital Fashion Week, which will make its worldwide debut in Singapore this coming October. He is the first Singaporean to be featured on world’s top trend spotting site, SpringWise.com.
Having lived on his own since 14, Keyis did not excel in school, and stopped his education after his ‘O’ Levels. He was given the opportunity to work with a Japanese advertising agency, helmed by entertainment icon Dick Lee, at 20, and never looked back.
He left the company after two years to start STORM in 2010. In May 2011, he introduced fashion show live streaming to the local market, a first in Singapore. The debut live streaming garnered over 500,000 viewers from 90 countries, which make the fashion event one of the Asia’s most watched.
With a genuine passion to put Singapore fashion on the world map, he is currently working with various local and international partners to introduce more innovative technology to connect fashion brands and designer with the consumer, which he believes is the future of fashion industry.
He is currently working on a mobile application which he thinks "will potentially disrupt and improve how the m-commerce (mobile commerce) market work".
