Patrick Ho | Director
Patrick spends his days acting like an adult. With formal training from Emily Carr College of Art and Design as a graphic designer, he now finds himself mainly engaging with words and storytelling. That fusion of the visual and literary continues to inspire him to create brands for consumer products and services with a bunch of smart people at Dossier, a design and innovation company. Outside of his professional endeavours, he delights in the city’s ever-expanding café culture, naively trying to transmute caffeine into iambic pentameter, but mostly wondering why he seems to be so shakey all the time.
