As a design teacher and a small business owner, I often get asked about how and why I started my own studio. I decided to share this journey with The Design Kids community as their TDK Tuesday guest.

During the online session, I talk about the cities and countries I have lived in and how they've affected my aesthetics, moving from advertising to branding and then transitioning from agency life to Studio Chenchen. I try to offer a few tips and lessons for those designers looking to work for themselves, so if that’s you, feel free to listen in.

Special thanks to TDK Tuesday Sydney host Sarah Bracken.
