Tan Kylyn is a visual creative nestled in sunny Singapore. She is currently in advertising at Publicis Chemistry, serving as an Art Director. With a knack for the art of storytelling, Kylyn immerses herself in the captivating realm of filmmaking and photography. Through her lens, she hopes to redefine the boundaries of visual storytelling and bridge the gap between past and present.
As a creative, she strives to create content for others but not so necessarily for herself (as you can tell from her bio).
