About Me

Hi, my name is Karen Chan. My emphasis in Design and Industry is Visual Communication Design. Some of my interests outside design include art, cooking, music, and photography.

What inspires or wows me are individuals who truly have a passion or even several passions in life whether it be related to their work or not; as long as something they do is meaningful to them.

One of my influences is a good friend from high school because she always strives very hard to achieve what she wants and never wants to give up no matter how difficult things get. I am working on myself to not give up as easily in difficult situations.

In my lifetime, I would really like to be a well rounded individual because I think being too focused in one area will do a person no good in the long run. Life is too short to focus all your energy into one thing so I am slowly learning to try new things all the time. Also, professionally, I would like to work for a company that is in it for a good cause. If money were no issue, I would not mind working for nonprofit organizations because graphic design is a powerful tool for them to get their message across the masses.

Here is an image that may represent me. I enjoy macro photography of natural yet hidden things such as this. Also, I like the color pink. This photograph is from an artist I like.


Six words that may describe me: Open-minded, friendly, shy, silly, dreamer, and considerate.
