ABOUTRESUME

A B O U T   M E

Hi, I'm Kelly Sun :)

I am a recent Industrial Design graduate from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

My work focuses on transcribe narratives through product, service, and experience.

I am interesting in discover the potential of artifact as medium for individuals to express themselves.

In my free time, you can find me reading on a toilet or knitting on the transit.
