Among those awards are four gold medals at the Malofiej Awards, a gold in the Society for News Design; on two occasions the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists of the USA -an award shared with the SCMP graphics team-, a PRINT Award, the Pencil Wood Award, three golds in Wan-Ifra, and he is a four-times winner in the best design category of the Hong Kong News Awards.
