Patricia Pinto
Project Copywriter
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Patricia is a copywriter based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, since March 2007. Prior to that, she worked as a freelance writer (with KL Weekly, an online mag), a journalist (with YTL e-Solutions) and volunteers her creative time and space for non-corporate interests including being one of The Pixel Project’s two main copywriters.
Outside The Pixel Project, Patricia is the copywriter for Comic Fiesta, the largest anime and comic convention in Malaysia. Her main duties are simple; translating client’s requirements and original content into a format more easily accepted for the Web. There are also other times when she’s required to source for new content. This has led her to be a surface expert on several subjects, leading to the nickname, Wiki Pat.

Siew Lian Chan
Project Copywriter
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
As a little girl, Siew Lian dreamed of becoming a cop, one whose slick kungfu moves could paralyse thugs and crack the air with a reassuring WHOOOP! no matter what fabric was being worn. Alas, her parents said ‘no’ and sent her for piano lessons instead. She didn’t go very far.
Years later, she dabbled in advertising as a copywriter but was shattered to discover that she was scam ad-intolerant. She then joined an indie youth magazine called Think Online as Assistant Editor. It was brilliant till they ran out of funds.
Siew Lian is now a Senior Copywriter with a leading interactive agency in KL and loves what she does. She is a past participant of AWAM’s Writers for Women’s Rights Programme and helps with the words on The Pixel Project.
