Keeping Memories Alive

You and your business partner Liam have known each other for a long time. What inspired you to set up Brilliant Prints?

We’ve been close friends since primary school in Australia; we did everything together. The decision to set up Brilliant Prints in Singapore came after a drunken dare at our annual group Australia Day barbecue in 2008. I would say it was a “calculated risk”. It was a combination of me helping out at the Brilliant Prints headquarters in Australia, which Liam currently runs, and watching it successfully grow. I was also bored of my banking job at the time and there was a soft lead of an opportunity in Singapore. The rest is history.

A great photo can help keep memories alive. What are your fondest memories of growing up together?
