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.
