Carson Ting

​For April's event, we are exploring the global theme 'crossroads' while intentionally deviating a little from our usual speaker/ audience format to explore a more participatory format. As part of CreativeMornings special series 'Thriving Through Change' we plan to explore ways that we can creatively manage change with a conversation between CMVan alumnus Carson Ting, our chapter lead, Mark Busse, and YOU, Vancouver's creative community, with a focus on how to boldly navigate life and career changes, disruptive technologies like AI, and other related topics.

Carson Ting is an artist and the founder of Billion Buns, a brand known for its vibrant and whimsical style. He also leads Chairman Ting, an award-winning art and design studio that has collaborated with global brands such as Nike, Microsoft, Starbucks, OFF-WHITE, NBA, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, adidas Originals, and Snoop Dogg’s 19 Crimes wine. His work blends fluid, organic linework with playful character-based shapes, creating a distinct and recognizable style.
