The Resilience Sessions

“I live for the flow. Time stands still and every stroke, every pixel nudge is inspired by a supernatural genius.”

In a world riddled with complexity, Chrissy Lim has the background and imagination to make sense of it all, traversing the realms of technology, business, and creativity. In a world of flux, she connects the dots.

Chrissy founded Paperplane to bring together the promise of creativity and technology to celebrate stories in an age of new media. The interplay of disciplines is where Chrissy thrives, and where the classic paper plane gains its charm: a humble sheet of paper transformed through engineering and imagination.

“Take a leap of faith – you will achieve beyond your imagination.”

Story-telling has been inseparable from Demi’s life: at the age of twenty-two, she had spent a year traveling from the south of Italy to the Scottish Highlands as a Junior Producer, taking words from a script and bringing them to life. After a tour around the Dutch film industry, Demi was yearning to put her skills to commercial use – she convinced her professors at University of Amsterdam to let her be the first ever student to study remotely, and flew from the Netherlands across continents to Singapore.

In Singapore, Demi worked at OneConnect Financial Technology, where she oversaw the redesign of the Customer Experience Center and managed video production, interior design, and walkthroughs for prospects. When the CEC later became a project for PaperplaneCo, Demi, utterly inspired by the PPCO team’s process of crafting compelling stories, knew she had to be a part of this creative team.

After receiving her degree in Digital Media, Demi is now the Account Manager at PaperplaneCo, where she ensures customer success in day-to-day client communication, and in projects that she oversees. Demi’s experience across fields has allowed her to experience a variety of perspectives first-hand, giving her the unique ability to empathise with clients and understand their needs. Outside of work, Demi is thoroughly enjoying her life in Singapore – the only way to make it even better would be getting a puppy!

“The great thing about my job is that I’m not really limited to my role.”

Marco loves to live free of limitations. He believes that if you want to stand out, you need to think differently, speak differently, and live differently. That’s why Marco pushes himself to try a lot of things and adapt. He finds that flexibility helps him think without restrictions and try new things, both personally and at work.

Marco has over a decade of experience in Digital Marketing, SEO and Statistical Analysis. As a driven, self-educated digital marketing professional, he has strategised and executed successful SEO campaigns for clients like Deloitte. Marco values the people he works with and a team environment that allows him to work autonomously, experiment, and leave his mark on each of the projects he’s involved with.

Marco also enjoys working on web design and development and, after work, he likes to unwind by playing video games and creating YouTube videos.

“I always stand my own ground, even if that means not getting what I want.”

A born dreamer and storyteller, Dansk’s love for films was kindled when she watched The Whale Rider as a teenager. The movie touched a special place in her adolescent heart, and Dansk instinctively knew then that she was destined to become a filmmaker. 

Dansk believes that one of the most important qualities of a great filmmaker is having a refined taste. Her own sophisticated taste in films is sculpted by over a decade of experiences: Upon graduating from an international film school, her first job was in Palau as an editor and an all-around staff for the only TV station in micronesia. Dansk then worked as a producer in Cebu, and was deployed to film 22 pilot episodes in 50 days. She eventually returned to her alma mater as a teacher. Before joining PaperplaneCo, Dansk worked as a freelancer and adapted 13 books into screenplays in one year. 

Dansk now describes herself as a war veteran in the art of video producing. Often described by her friends as a “purist”, Dansk refuses to lower her artistic standards for films, not even in the corporate world. Now as the Video Producer of PaperplaneCo, Dansk is responsible for most of the videos that our agency produces. 

One of Dansk’s lifelong dreams is to make her own film and gain international recognition. Another aspiration of hers is to shave her head and live like a monk in the mountains one day.
