About Kay Chan
I grew up in a pretty tough environment after my family escaped a war. That, in itself, can be a segment of its own. I'll spare you the details for now.
I grew up with a pretty remarkable talent of being able to see things a little more creatively than others around me. I was heavily into poetry and illustration throughout my adolescent years. Despite growing up poor, and to my parents' chagrin, I stuck with my passion for the arts. Regrettably (sort of), I never went to college. Straight out of high school, I picked up menial desk jobs doing entry level design that I had absolutely no experience in.
I spent years accepting daily office projects and would take them home to learn better ways to do them on my own time. This went on for several years. It was a struggle to land better paying jobs as they were near impossible without a college degree (I have so much to say about this!). Ones I did find did not pay well, but I always considered them to be great opportunities to be a better designer.
