Gary Choo is a concept artist for Mighty Action Heroes. A legend in the local gaming art scene, he’s worked at King, Booster Pack, and LucasArts, and drawn for Marvel. Gary creates the original concepts for the characters and environments in our games.
Mario Toon is a 3D artist for Mighty Action Heroes. An accomplished 3D specialist (and former tertiary-level educator) with multicultural experience in full-production of critically-successful games across multiple genres and platforms, he was born and bred in Singapore and spent 6 years in Seattle before moving back to the little red dot. Mario has worked at Z2 Games, King Singapore, and now, Mighty Bear.
Olivia Ng is Mighty Action Heroes’ mighty project manager. Previously from Ubisoft, her career has taken her from the frontlines of theme park guest services to LinkedIn’s corporate offices. In her spare time, Olivia moonlights as a Twitch streamer. Her favourite genres of games are rhythm games, puzzles, and RPGs.
Khalid Sani works on engineering for Mighty Action Heroes. Prior to working with the rest of the OG Mighty Bear team at King, Khalid worked for Nvidia and Mikoishi. These days, Khalid helps build our best features on both client and server sides, while squeezing in Legendary-level Hearthstone matches.
Andrew Ching also works on engineering for Mighty Action Heroes. Legend has it that in a previous life, Andrew appeared in an office without warning and started squashing bugs (or creating them, depending on who you ask). He has since adapted to just complaining about systems that don’t work well — and fixing them.
Mary-Anne Lee does marketing & community for Mighty Action Heroes. She has managed communities ranging from tightly-knit hardcore mobile game enthusiasts to the global audiences of Hearthstone, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and more across her decade-long career in games. Follow her on Twitter!
