, which showcases his design work. Ching Kai has worked with a wide range of clients, from the Wild Rice theatre company to Robinsons. Curious about his career and his paper craft, I sat down with Ching Kai to learn more.I remember drawing a lot right from the start – pretty much as soon as I first knew how to hold a pencil.
