Journey
Born and raised in Singapore, Benjamin Ang begun his career has a motion designer. Graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in Motion Graphics and Broadcast Design in 2012, and decided to not further pursue his education.
After graduation, he took a 3-month internship at an amazing company in Los Angeles, California, called Blind. Having worked in both Singapore and Los Angeles, he noticed a disparity of approaching work and the importance of culture, between the two motion design industries.
He started Genesis in 2015, to bridge the gap by infusing a positive blend of both cultures; the Asian hustle and the open playfulness of the other. Repeatedly told impossible due to the local social norms of overworking, over-competitiveness and hierarchies, which till this day, is his motivation to prove others wrong and that a balance is still possible if entrepreneurs embrace the persistence to try.
