About Lam Kam Kun

I'm a graphic designer and a father. I have worked as a graphic designer for 18 years. When I first became a designer, I thought I could make Macau more beautiful, improve the aesthetics of Macau people, and enable designers to create better works as long as I did my job well. Now after 16 years, to me, a designer is just a common and ordinary profession, a craftsman, a skill to feed my family. As science and technology develop at high speed, designers may be replaced in the future, I'll never know. Whatever dilemma the future may be, my identity as a designer has become an inseparable part of me.
