Department Head, Design
Majored in marketing and advertising, Don holds a bachelor of arts degree. Instead of working in the marketing industry after his graduation, he became a graphic designer due to his huge passion for design as he had always had since day one of University.
Having accumulated a few years of experience in designing logos, packaging, and everything that was related to branding and print, Don moved to Vancouver in 2014 and started a new chapter of his life of being as a creator. As technologies and the design industry have both evolved rapidly over the last decade, Don has transferred himself from a print designer to a digital designer, creating websites and all kinds of digital assets on a daily basis.
Starting in 2017, Don has started emerging his newly gained knowledge — project management into his design realm and gradually repositioned himself into a multi-side player among teams. Don enjoys collaborating with everyone on the team and genuinely feels happy when he sees people grow. He is a firm believer in continuous learning. He constantly craves new knowledge and strongly believes in the “what gets you here won’t get you there” philosophy. Out of work, Don is passionate about reading, photography, streetwear, playing basketball, challenging himself with cold showers/baths, and having great connections with people.
