MEET THE

888 CREW

We’re the most easy going and diverse range of talent you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with, and we put you at the heart of our decisions. We do this by putting together multi-disciplinary teams to create the best solutions for your business, and with our proven track record, there’s no doubt that we do this well.
‍
Without further ado, check out the talented individuals that make 888 what it is:

Mike Quan

Managing Director

Blessed with the role of leading the pack and making sure that we are always evolving as a team is our beloved Managing Director, Mike. Triple 888 Studios was originally established by his father, Michael, in 1986 and it wasn’t long before Mike was part of the family business as the General Manager.
‍
He now oversees the direction of the company and ensures that our team is always developing new skills and hiring new talent to support the growth of the business. Mike is also well-versed in the marketing world and is currently managing our automotive clients like Daimler Australia and KTM.
‍
Being a generous leader isn’t his only trademark quality. Mike is also a scale model enthusiast and spends a portion of his free time building planes and military kits. Otherwise, you’d probably find him eating his heart out at Mikazuki (the kingfish tiradito is his favourite) or sharing one of his unique travel stories with the team!

Linda Fung

Financial Director

Keeping us grounded and supporting the growth of the company through financial strategies is none other than Linda, our Financial Director. After a fulfilling career as a Diversional therapist and working in child care, Linda joined in on the family business and became an understudy to Greta, her mother. She learnt the ropes in making the numbers stack up and now her and Mike form a formidable sibling duo, working together to give 888 the strong foundation it needs to shine brightly.
‍
When she’s not crunching numbers for the company, Linda is an avid crafter and reader, enjoys the world of tap dancing, and helps look after the 2 family dogs.

Jordan Thadanabath

Account Director

Boasting an impressive 17 years at 888, Jordan has made a significant impact on the development of our business and the direction of our services. He proudly connects all parts of our agency to deliver innovative and strategic solutions to produce results, and has led impressive website development and eCommerce projects across a range of industries from powersports to cookware.
‍
His ability to connect all moving parts together also readily translates into his passion for cooking. You can find Jordan trialling new recipes and cooking techniques, cooking up a storm at home and at our team potluck sessions, and of course, eating his way through Sydney with his family.

Evelyn Thadanabath

Senior Account Manager

As 888’s ray of sunshine and social club president, Evelyn knows what it takes to keep the workplace culture buzzing and interesting for everyone’s different needs and wants. This solutions-focused approach to life means that she knows all about meeting the requirements of her clients and going the extra mile to deliver quality work. In fact, Evelyn has played an integral role at 888 as the key Senior Account Manager for BRP Australia, and has been working with their team to develop and execute digital and print campaigns for the last 6 years.
‍
When she’s not busy meeting tight deadlines, Evelyn can be found eating her way through Sydney, looking for the next best adrenaline-inducing thrills, going on fishing adventures, and looking for the next best spot to hike.

Nitish Shakya

Digital Account Manager

In the realm of the digital space and the gym, Nitish is a king when it comes to achieving results.
‍
He kick started his career as a Digital Specialist for big accounts like Kennards Hire, Canon and Samantha Wills, and never shied away from a challenge. Instead, he became the lead in developing company-first eCommerce modules and beating industry-benchmarks for conversion rates and other key KPIs.
‍
He now brings his tenacity and eCommerce expertise to 888. During the last few years as Digital Account Manager, Nitish has significantly grown eCommerce platforms and executed digital strategies for international brands like GLOBAL USA and SCANPAN USA, and continues to lead our team of developers to produce turnkey website solutions for our powersports clients.

Narita Deo

Junior Account Manager

Vanessa Tran

Account Executive

Meet the newest kid on the block!
‍
Flaunting four years of working experience in the social media marketing industry and a keenness for strategic data-driven solutions, Vanessa is no stranger to rolling up her sleeves and getting her hands dirty. Having worked with the likes of Top Juice, Get Fish, Piccolo Me, and Audi Centre Sydney, asking her to manage the BRP social media accounts was a no brainer.
‍
Outside of the 888 world, Vanessa is a self-proclaimed foodie (although funnily enough she’s incredibly picky) and a big fan of salmon sashimi. Raw seafood aside, Vanessa also has a raw talent for art (you can find her working her magic with a pencil and paintbrush in her spare time) and an unhealthy obsession with plushies.

Tom Melville

Senior Graphic Designer

If the height and beard aren’t impressive enough, Tom is bound to win you over with his artistic abilities. He flaunts an arsenal of creative skills ranging from animation and photography to being one of the most innovative cartoonists in the game. Tom was previously working at Koch & Co as a designer and photographer, and now works on steering the creative direction for BRP Australia’s campaigns with Evelyn.
‍
When he isn’t sketching away, you can find Tom defending his self-proclaimed title of ‘Undefeated Darts Champion’, cooking up some of the BEST potato bake the office has ever eaten, or going head to head with his girlfriend on the PlayStation 5.

Harry Shi

Graphic Designer

Harry grew up with pencils in both of his hands. Inevitably, they caused some troubles at dinner-time, but they also helped Harry grow a passionate interest in fine arts. Swapping a pencil for a computer mouse, he went on to work as a designer with devotion to visual design, media communications and e-commerce. Having a background in Multimedia Design, he has unyielding creative skills in graphic design, animation and video production.

If you feel like you lost contact with Harry, it probably means he is preoccupied with his drawing or painting. Otherwise, you will need to visit the cinema and find him. He has a record of spending 12 continuous hours in the cinema.

Nikki Morris

Senior Graphic Designer

Don’t let her reserved demeanour mislead you, Nikki is an insightful creative who thinks outside the box to bring brands to life. Over the last 8 years at 888 (and counting), Nikki has shone brightly as a Senior Graphic Designer in a range of industries from pharmaceuticals to hospitality. She brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge in packaging, campaign work, and branding, and has worked with clients like Sandoz Australia, GLOBAL Knives USA, and SCANPAN Denmark.
‍
Outside of the 888 realm, you can find Nikki reviewing playgrounds around Sydney with her family, listening to true crime podcasts, and sewing up some epic clothing pieces and accessories for her daughter.

Chester Jon Bartolome

UX/UI Designer

After eight years as an in-house Graphic Web Designer for big corporations in Singapore, Chester decided to start a new career in UX/UI Design in Sydney. Since then he’s been able to carve a name for himself at 888 as the powerhouse of website design and user experience, as well as being someone who can easily adapt to different clients and their needs. He’s been able to get his hands dirty as the lead designer in a range of print and digital campaigns for clients such as SCANPAN and GLOBAL, as well as branding for international clients such as SPEC Industries.
‍
When he’s not working on new creatives, Chester can be found happily eating a bowl of ramen, watching anime, and spending quality time with his family!

Ayesha Tape

Social Media Manager

South African born and raised, Ayesha joined Triple 888 just three short months into her migration to Sydney, Australia. With experience at global organisations such as the United Nations and the World Data Forum, and previously working on award-winning projects for Johnson & Johnson's Africa, Ayesha's role as Community Manager, Copywriter and Social Media Manager has evolved over time to become an integrated specialty. Ayesha's passion lies in humanising brands and companies to consumers.

When she's not working, she's keeping up with the KarJenners, cuddling any cat she can find and cooking up a storm (really only just butter chicken).

Maryam Dezhbod

Senior Front End Developer
Full Stack Developer

Is it really a web development project if Maryam isn’t involved? Known as our resident Superwoman for the last 6 years and counting, Maryam has been paving the way for our website solutions as a Senior Front End and Full Stack Developer, utilising her skills on a large range of projects and turnkey solutions like our BRP website network and CMS system, and Daimler Admaker system.⁠

When she's not losing herself in code, you can find Maryam watching Netflix documentaries, jamming out to Britney Spears and Linkin Park, meditating, cooking, and keeping up to date with astronomy updates. She's also a firm believer in staying curious and uses her spare time to learn new things about the world.

Siddhartha Shrestha

Website Developer

Hailing in as our resident SPICY BOY and the guy who just “gets it done”, is the one and only Sid. Sid has been prospering in the web development world since 2013 and has a wealth of experience building a range of websites, from simple informational ones to more complex eCommerce websites. He has a can-do attitude, a Magento 1 certification under his belt, and is currently working towards being certified in Magento 2.
‍
Since joining 888, Sid has been able to get his hands dirty in web development projects for the likes of Stacer, Quintrex and Mercury and is taking the lead on our BRP eCommerce project. His ability to masterfully piece the little details together is also mirrored in his hobbies. Sid spends his free time replicating savoury recipes, building on his guitar and keyboard skills, and playing and making video games.
