Alevin K Chan

From May 2020, I have been an independant freelance content writer, editor and copywriter serving several clients in personal finance, insurance, loans, credit cards, health and lifestyle.

My original content have been regularly syndicated by Singapore's leading news portals, including AsiaOne and Yahoo News.

In 2019, I created and published Discoverist.sg, a travel and lifestyle content portal geared to the needs of travellers in Singapore and SEA. With an emphasis on history and culture, Discoverist aims to help readers view familiar destinations through new lenses, and discover new playgrounds. With all marketing spends on hold due to COVID-19, Discoverist still attracts 10k to 15k unique visitors each month.

In 2012, I conceptualised and launched Pocket Magazine, a Singapore-focussed digital magazine covering design, lifestyle and the arts. For our first issue, we scored an exclusive interview with local artiste Adrian Pang at the turn of his career.
