Kevin Chan

Senior Art Director :: New York office

Kevin is a Senior Art Director in the New York office. He likes to play dress up, and even instituted “Formal Fridays” at work to impose his sartorial agenda on his fellow Barbarians.
We thought Kevin joined The Barbarian Group as an Interactive Designer straight outta school, marking our first foray into the concept of “entry level.” We didn’t get it quite right, however, since Kevin’s Flash chops were pretty well honed, having spent a year working in Chicago setting up the multimedia department for a healthcare company. Oh and also, he graduated from the prestigious Digital Media Design program at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at UPenn, and had internships at Electronic Arts and THUNKdesign in California. We probably should have looked at his resume a little closer before we hired him.
The whole foray paid off, however, when Kevin arrived at the doors of our Boston office in 2003. He hit the ground running, creating some amazing Flash pieces right away. His first project was the 2004 VW Passat minisite. Since then, he’s served as lead designer and Flash developer on numerous other projects. He’s proven himself to be particularly adept at game design and programming, illustration-heavy design, and animation.
We should also mention that he’s Canadian, but we forgive him because he’s so polite about it.
