About Duncan Leung
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It’s sort of a strange combination of personal, and career updates – and perhaps some of you are cringing at this online profile faux pas that I’m committing of merging the two together; but I guess what better way of being transparent, than by doing so?
I originally had two separate blogs, one on Digital Media in Beijing, and another specifically for Photography, but due to a slight mishap, I lost my Digital Media blog.
Anyhow, I digress-
I arrived in Beijing in June 2009 – six months after a strange sovereign series of events following an OIL conference that I attended in January of the same year. During the conference I was led to seriously consider the possibility of leaving the US for China in the ‘near future’; “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask earnestly of the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest”, but many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
It so happened that on the first day that I returned back to work from the conference that I was laid-off (which was also the source of my US visa). However, doors began opening to go to Beijing, and six months later I found myself working and living in Beijing.
I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering, though my college career was split into living a double-life as a student engineer, and a wedding and event photographer. During my five years in Illinois, I was able to work very closely with the photographers and brothers in the faith: Kenny Kim, Wayne Yuan, David Lai, Alex Roy, and Kenny Nakai, which was an immense pleasure and blessing in my development as a photographer.
I was introduced into the Online and Search Marketing industry during my internship as a Search Marketing Analyst with adSage, and gained experience in Social Media Marketing as the Social Media Marketing Advisor at the Beijing branch of MeshTop.
I started work with Morodo Group Limited in January 2010, and am currently on their Marketing team doing search and online marketing.
Feel free to drop me a message if you’d like more information on photography, or digital media – or just life in general here in Beijing. =)
