My Story

About Me

Hi I'm Amy Ping Ping Chan. A web developer and UI/UX designer based in Vancouver BC. From a young age, I’ve always had a passion for design. I remember winning my first coloring contest at age 7, and that sparked a lifelong love for creativity. Growing up, I was the kid who loved drawing, experimenting with colors, and paying attention to the smallest design details. That early passion evolved as I got older, leading me to pursue both design and technology.

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills as a web developer and UI/UX designer, combining my creativity with technical know-how. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from building websites to leading design initiatives, always with the goal of making digital experiences more intuitive and visually engaging.

Outside of work, I make it a priority to balance my professional life with activities that recharge me. Whether it’s hiking around Vancouver, practicing yoga, dancing, gardening or diving into arts and crafts, I find ways to stay inspired and keep a healthy work-life balance.

Get to know me more by exploring my portfolio and seeing the journey of how my love for design turned into a fulfilling career in web development and UI/UX design.
