He leads the studio’s creative direction and customer experience, including a modern, technology-forward ordering process. Alongside his art, Kanchan works in UI/UX and digital creative projects and takes an active interest in entrepreneurship, technology and AI — combining the patience of hand-drawn portraiture with the thinking of digital product design.
