Zoë Cailas Tan
Creative, art director and photographer
Creative working across concept, design and visual storytelling. I’m particularly interested in telling stories through a mix of media, formats and visual languages. I also really like things that look good.
My route into the creative industry wasn’t exactly straightforward. After a film school rejection, the more conventional path led to university. I’ve always loved research, but once I started my first job as an environmental consultant I realised I had made a mistake. I had overlooked the thing I love most: creating.
While I was supposed to focus on logistics and reporting, I found myself drawn to the visual side of things, especially designing maps in QGIS. It became clear that what excited me wasn’t the data, but the design.
Almost five years later, I still can’t believe this is a real job. I get to create things with endlessly interesting people, and now I’m never finished learning. Please reach out if there’s a cool project we can work on together!
