As a teenager, Joachim Sebastian was already a keen entrepreneur, making money from fixing computers. After studying Biomedical Sciences and then working for Sime Darby for three years, Joachim went on to launch
Creativize.
Creativize is an online retail business which designs, markets and sells vinyl stickers. Right now, Creativize is focused on the market for motorbike stickers. “Demand is always there for the personalisation of bikes,” says Joachim, who loves motorbikes. “People want to really own their bikes.”
Creativize has sold roughly 9,000 stickers to date under its brand StickmanVinyls. Joachim explains that the company is breaking even with its operations, which is no mean feat. Currently, the stickers are distributed online and receive orders from around the world. The biggest platforms are eBay and Amazon, and the largest market is in the US.
