The Pixel Project

I am a budding social entrepreneur specialising in women's issues with a vested interest in ending violence against women. My special expertise and interest is conceptualising and mounting triple bottom-line campaigns that raise funds, awareness and volunteer services for nonprofits working to end violence against women and any other gender inequalities or female-centred issues.

I would like to drastically reduce violence against women and gender inequalities in my lifetime using innovative and effective measures including social media

Regina Yau is a global citizen who synergises Western liberalism with Asian pragmatism and her own social conscience. The hallmark of Regina’s working style is her blend of inventive creativity, strategic thinking, practical execution, and sheer bloody-mindedness at getting the job done. All Regina’s pro bono non-profit projects, including The Pixel Project, are designed to hit a triple ‘bottomline’ of raising funds, raising awareness and raising volunteer manpower for causes. Prior to The Pixel Project, she founded and organised the Time-and-Fund raising Charity Bachelor Auction (currently on hiatus) which raised an average of RM63,000 nett per year for Breast Cancer, 6-month publicity runs and over 200 hours of community service. Regina was nominated in the Education and Public Service category of The Malaysian Women’s Weekly’s “Great Women of Our Time” Awards 2008 for her innovative awareness-raising work for breast cancer through the auction. Regina kick-started her career by coming in First Runners-up in PR Week UK’s James Maxwell Award 2004 when she impressed legendary PR guru, Lord Chadlington, founder of Shandwick, with her Public Relations strategy work. She is currently the Associate Director of a Kuala Lumpur-based Integrated Communications consultancy where she heads client operations. Regina is a Rhodes Scholar with a long-standing commitment to gender issues and two post-graduate degrees from Oxford – an M.St in Women’s Studies and an M.St in Oriental Studies.
