Meet the digital doers new Grand Jury Panel of the 2022 Vega Digital Awards that did not hesitate to push boundaries!
As a wise green space wizard once said, “Do or do not, there is no try.”
As it turns out, he was right! Nothing comes out from wanting to do something that is new, bold and exciting, but never make an attempt to execute the concept. But those who do try to made their vision a reality are always the ones who set the newest trends that changes the landscape of creativity forever!
Once again in partnership with the 2022 Vega Digital Awards, we’re going to be taking a look at the digital doers of our generation that is not afraid to try new things and succeed! Without further ado, let’s greet the newest additions of the Grand Jury Panel!
Yeon Sang Yoon
What do you get when combine hard work, innovation and an appetite to challenge the status quo? Well, you get Yeon Sang Yoon, whose works during his time as a student in the School of Visual Arts in New York made him one of the most awarded students in the world. His student works winning a Cannes Future Lions for the second time in the school’s history, winning a Clio Awards, New York Festivals, One Show, D&AD, Adstars and Creativity International Awards.
Hot from his unbreakable streak of creative digital submission wins, Yeon kickstarted his career as an Art Director for Elephant. Who at the time their biggest clients were Apple, Marcus by Goldman Sachs and Comcast. Moving out from his home country of Korea and over to Los Angeles, he continued his legacy of an Art Director over at Grey West and eventually at Snap Inc., where he found his biggest successes with them as a Creative, Design & Art (L3) in Brand & Marketing team.
As a side-hustle, Yeon also founded a non-profit organization, “Signs For A Cause”, the world’s first-ever image library where anyone from all over the world can upload their creations and images as a sign of protest against the forces that they are unhappy at.
Today, Yeon Sang Yoon has found his new home in the world’s largest ecommerce retailer, Amazon and continues to take up the role as an Art Director there. Similarly, he is also an Adjunct Instructor as Openlearn (SEL/NYC) where he can pass on his legacy as a great creative over to the next generation or marketing prodigies. And currently, he’s got a sit within the 2022 Vega Digital Awards Grand Jury Panel. Welcome, Yeon! We’re glad to have you here!
Shefik Macauley
To say that Shefik Macauley is a digital doer in the digital landscape would be an understatement of the century. As a matter of fact, Shefik is the one who built the digital landscape we all know and love from the ground up with his own bare hands!
Shefik has a long and accomplished history of continuously pushing the power levels of digital media far beyond than what it is capable of. He has done so much and helped so many companies, it would take us days to list out every highlight of his career!
But for now, the only thing that you need to know is that Shefik is a battle-hardened ancient with over 20 years of industry experience. Appearing in many titanic industry names that we are all too familiar with such as MTV, SiriusXM, PBS and many more. In addition to that, Shefik has also led his projects at senior-level positions as countless Fortune 500 companies and globally-recognized brands such as IBM, NBCUniversal, MTV World, Merck, Merriam-Webster, and many more!
Shefik is also a wizard when it comes to social media, likely thanks to his humble beginnings as a Lead Architect and Senior Web Developer for websites and webpages. Which made him stand at the very bleeding edge of the new media. But he doesn’t just stop there, Shefik is also a videographer and producer who had his works featured in live television broadcasts and video production for TIME Magazine, The Washington Center, “Unsung” (TV One) and Braodway World.
Right now, though, Shefik Macauley is a Technical Lead for NBC Sports at NBCUniversal. Additionally, he is also holding numerous jury positions for various global awards programs. Including this one at the Vega Digital Awards! We are extremely privileged to have such an accomplished individual to grace our Grand Jury Panel for the 2022 year!
Yaroslav Zubko
From the very beginning of his professional career as a designer, Yaroslav Zubko has secured a big number of collaborations from both multibillion companies and small independent startups worldwide.
One of which being when he was working at Uplabs and cannot stop receiving Employee of the Month awards from his office! Since then, he has his works displayed and featured on platforms such as 365awesomedesigners, Muzli, ColelctUI and other design inspiration sources where aspiring designers from all disciplines can view his greatest hits and challenge themselves to climb that mountain.
And it doesn’t stop there! As well as being the Employee of the Century at Uplabs and even being a Design Mentor and Coach at that company, he also holds a seat at global design award programs such as DevChallange, WebAward, ItAwards, and at the CSS Design Awards and finally, making his home here at the 2022 Vega Digital Awards as part of the Grand Jury Panel.
Today, Yaroslav Zubko is the founder of Zubko Studios and takes up the position as a Product Design Consultant.
Do or do not, don’t just stop at trying only!
The only way to success is all about knowing whether it will work or not, and the only way to know is through trying it out first! And if it doesn’t work in the first attempt, go back to the drawing board and try again. Whatever you do, never stop trying until you succeed!
And that is exactly the qualities that we look for in our Grand Jury Panel. If you are a doer who tries every solution to get an idea to work, why not be a part of it and submit your resume to us and be part of the people leading the bleeding edge of digital media innovation here?
