About Me_
Hi, I’m Charlie (Ho Yin Tong). I’m a visual designer based in Toronto and originally from Hong Kong. I enjoy creating simple and thoughtful designs that tell stories and connect with people.
With a background in multimedia design and advertising, I’ve worked across branding, packaging, video, and social media content. Whether it’s building a brand from scratch or designing visuals that reflect a company’s values, I focus on clean aesthetics, cultural elements, and meaningful details.
I find inspiration in everyday life. Things like quiet cafés, old-school packaging, street signs, and handwritten menus often spark ideas. I believe good design doesn’t have to be loud to stand out.
If you’re a brand with a good story, or if you want help telling one, I’d love to hear from you.
