Bio
Paul Kong is currently a student attending the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee as a Design and Visual Communication undergraduate. Moving eight times around the Midwest areas he was always exploring his new surroundings and translating those experiences through his art. Never actually knowing what his career would be he drifted around and explored his options throughout the first two years of college. New experiences and friends would help Paul decided on the career choice that would change his life. After taking a few art classes with friends he decided to go into graphic design. Paul felt like graphic design is the perfect medium for him because he would not be tied down to one type of medium. He wanted the freedom to utilize any and all mediums in order to express himself fully.
