G'day, I'm Chris.

My Chinese name is Wu Shin, which means 'star of martial arts'. I don't know any martial arts. In fact, it probably isn’t fair my parents assumed what I'd be good at. Upside, it doesn't mean 'star of accounting'.

My grandparents were born in China and Burma, my parents were born in Sri Lanka, and I was born in Doonside. I don't speak Chinese or Sinhala but I eat fluently in both.

Always keen to meet new people and discover new things. So if you’re a person, or know some things, would love to catch up.

Chris

What others said

Chris Ching is a consummate professional and extremely diligent. He takes on feedback exceptionally well and is always available to help get the job done. He will never back down from a creative challenge — which is one of the best attributes of a modern-day creative. Chris is also one of the nicest humans in advertising and a pleasure to have in the office.
— Avish Gordhan, ECD at M&C Saatchi
Chris came to us on a short contract and left having worked a much longer one. For good reason—he came up with the goods time and again, put in the hard yards when required and became an important part in a number of projects. He remains the only creative I’ve ever met who can write a great script with his shirt tucked in, a unique talent that will serve him well wherever he goes. Mostly the being able to write a great script bit.
— Scott Nowell, Co-Founder & ECD at The Monkeys
Chris is a talented young copywriter. He tackles every brief in a diligent, thoughtful, dare I say, even considerate, way. Conceptually strong, he’ll serve up fresh ideas and well articulated creative platforms. Then he will present them in a polished manner that belies his tender age. And, once approved—as they’re invariably on-brief—he will carefully craft and polish them to their shiniest best. To top all this off he’s a complete gentleman—even if he does dress like a preppy college student.
— Shaun Branagan, Creative Group Head at Ogilvy & Mather
Christopher has a highly developed knowledge of his letters and sounds and effectively uses this knowledge when engaged in reading and writing activities. His handwriting is fluent and clear.
— Karen Graczyk, Christopher's Kindergarten Teacher at St John Vianney's, Doonside
