Bio
Sharon Chang
If you need ideas, talk to Kay. He gets to the essence of what really matters and thinks of unconventional ways to illustrate it. He's so creative, executes all his projects flawlessly, and is a pleasure to work with.
Reed Hoffman
Khoi(Kay) is confused about his name, but that has nothing to do with his incredible ability to sew fantastic concepts into beautiful campaigns. He's not your typical designer/art director, he's a talented storyteller and pho connoisseur as well. I've worked with Kay on so many projects and every single time he's made me look much smarter than I really am. Do you wanna look smarter? Hire him immediately and never admit to him that you haven't seen Old Boy. I can't wait to work with this dude again.
