Hello! My name is Chuen. My pen name is Kathy.
I am sure you can tell by my name that I am of Asian-descendant. I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC and my dad thought an Asian name was more preferrable - so I will never forget my roots.
Et oui, I have a pen name. I was a Technical and Creative Writer in the IT industry the last fifteen years. I have written numerous blog articles, tutorials, training manuals, newsletters, product pages...and even an e-book on how to build an E-commerce website. I am also a freelance website and print designer with more than ten years of experience. I also volunteer whenever I can - I have also spent 7 years with the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra.
This website is more than just my web store, it's my design workshop. It's a place where I combine my knowledge in technology and my experience in design with my love for all the cuteness of the party world to create modern, beautiful party boxes. All my inspirations come from my three young children. Yes, I have 3!! Children are a rich reservoir of fairytales and adventures, and I make it my job to take their stories and turn them into beautiful celebrations.
I am attracted to simple, clean designs. I do not like clutter and I absolutely do not like to over-complicate things. I love handcrafted creations, but I am terrible at DIY'ing - I can handle scissors, paper punches and glue sticks, but that's about it - no glue guns, no sewing machines, no cutters, no paint brushes...
Because of this website, I've learned more about commercial photography and image editing. I am also trying my hands at video production.
