I'm Karen, a creative designer driven by storytelling and a passion for exploring the world through design. My work is shaped by global experience, cultural curiosity, and a deep appreciation for visual narratives.

I graduated from the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales, where I developed a strong foundation in design and a keen visual sensibility. Born in Hong Kong, raised in Australia, and having studied in Japan, I bring a unique cross-cultural perspective that bridges Asian and Western aesthetics. This background allows me to create work that resonates across diverse audiences, particularly within the Asia-Pacific market.

 

Throughout my career, I've expanded into digital design, crafting marketing collateral that seamlessly blends traditional and digital mediums. My experience spans print and digital design, photography art direction, product styling, branding and advertising across both in-house teams and agency environments. I'm particularly energised by the process of pitching ideas, pushing creative boundaries, and transforming concepts into compelling visual outcomes.

Beyond my professional work, I'm an avid traveller who continually seeks inspiration through exploration. My experience working with travel and lifestyle magazines first sparked this passion, shaping the way I observe and interpret the world around me. From camping under the stars in the Sahara Desert to trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, I've been fortunate to experience moments that have broadened my perspective and infused my work with a sense of wonder and discovery.

I find inspiration in both extraordinary journeys and everyday life, approaching each with fresh eyes. This mindset keeps me motivated and continually pushing creative boundaries. 

Thank you for being part of my creative journey.
