Katy Poon
AI Vancouver Class of 2006

Katy is working at Electronic Arts Canada as an Interface Designer. She’s part of the team that designs the menus, HUD elements, icons, and loading screens for video games. As a part of her job, she creates many motion demos, and she’s thankful for the Flash skills she learned while attending The Art Institute of Vancouver.

Finding the right career was easy for Katy. She quickly knew that interface design was perfect for her. She states that “I am a perfectionist and am always looking for perfect composition (I even arrange my Photoshop windows and palettes so they are perfectly aligned with each other!).” She credits her education for teaching her how to present herself to prospective employers. She knows that tips from Career Services at The Art Institute of Vancouver enabled her to make a good first impression.

In her free time, Katy continues to challenge herself as a freelance designer, working mostly in web design and development and print.
