Alexander Wong
is a Man of Vision
Through his highly innovative and multi-talented fusion office in Hong
Kong, Alexander has become a celebrated all-in-one, entrepreneur, creative
thinker, animation developer, architect and design guru.From his educational
background in the UK and at Princeton University in the US to his more
recent architectural designs for the International Movie Star Jackie Chan,
Esprit as well as his latest success in the field of animation & automated
retailing, Alexander has never failed to surprise us as an absolute original
at every point of his career.
His successes in launching Jidou and Jidou animation have established him as a major force in entrepreneurial creation. Their first cartoon series Jidousports, launched in January 2003, has already caught on in Hong Kong, Japan and France with sports-themed animated features ranging from golf to tennis; soccer to basketball. The unique and healthy images of Jidou, the main cartoon character also named after the company, have successfully established this adorable character into a popular digital icon for mobile services & games provider; a spokes-person for health products & vending machines as well as a major Shopping Mall Mascot. Organised by one of the largest cartoon character licensing agent in China, a soft launch of Jidou animations and products has already begun in Greater China followed by other activities in 2004 like the launch of their jidougames series in Hong Kong and beyond. Alexander sees Jidou as the Snoopy for the 21st Century in China with huge potential for years to come and new works with other cartoon characters are already underway.
Having won numerous architectural awards in the past, Alexander has recently expanded his list of prizes with Best Interior Projects 2002 from Perspective Magazine for his Jehle House which has also become the most photographed house in Hong Kong featured in no less than 8 local and international publications. He has also been honoured by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects as one of the Emerging Hong Kong Young Architects 2003.
