hi, i'm jeffrey chan! (he/him)
I was previous working within the music industry as a Product Designer at Play MPE in Vancouver. I focused on refining and building experiences that helped artists and labels in distributing their music to radio and promoters across the world!
I graduated with Distinction at Simon Fraser University studying Interactive Arts and Technology - an intersection of art and science. I also had the privilege of completing two design study abroads at Monash University and the University of Leeds.
These studies fostered a deep love of all things in the spectrum of design, from interface design, to architecture, to coding.
When it comes to my design philosophy, I create with dialogue, conviction, and a dash of fun! In my world, everything I create exists for a reason — whether to give support or to bring joy. I strive to immerse myself into environments where I am curious and learning, as that fosters me to be the best designer I can be!
