Pixie Tan is an Art Director and Educator. She uses her experience in fashion, graphic, spatial design and publishing to facilitate collaborations and propose new ways of seeing and playing. Currently, she is looking into the stories we keep or forgot in our wardrobes through zine-making.
She is the co-founder of Stranger(‘s) Touch, and co-founded Don’t Mind If, a ground-up initiative designed with the hopes of uplifting, celebrating and advancing the local communications design industry, community and profession. She is currently a lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore.
Her zines can be purchased at Objectifs (Singapore), Good Press (Glasgow) or viewed in Asia Art Archive (Hong Kong). They are also distributed across Europe by Antenne Books.
