My name is Kik. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel and Tourism Management as well as an MBA from the University of Greenwich. You must be thinking – but wait a minute, that has no relation to art! LOL! You see, my family had wanted me to secure a job in the corporate world, in the confines of an office. However, I had other plans for myself and chose instead, to push myself and follow my dreams. Now, I am a full-time designer toy artist! Yay!
My interest in art started at a very young age. I love exploring new techniques and trying out new methods. This has allowed me to vary my creations, yet always staying true to my love for all things fun and colourful.
In June 2017, I introduced Kik Toyz to the world. It has only been a few months since I started making toys, but my art journey actually began in 2010. Polymer clay and art dolls were my passion and inspiration back then. After graduating with a Master’s Degree, I returned to Bangkok and found myself yearning to craft again. Unfortunately, all my tools were left in Singapore. I was determined to find a way and continued to pursue my passion in the arts. My exploration led me to something new – art toys and designer toys.
