Yi Jia

Yi Jia's history with Marketing Kitchen goes back to her student days, when it didn't take long to spot her potential. Her packaging design background from TMU's Graphic Communications Management program made her a die-cutter natural, and by graduation she already ran the laser room like she owned the place. We hired her on the spot, and she's been turning her hand to anything since – promo included, where she now works alongside Tania. She's also a two-time Helmut Kipphan Cup winner from her TMUTAGA days – basically the World Cup of student print competitions – so somewhere, there's a trophy shelf we should be asking about.

Off the clock, she's been doodling since she was a kid, and has branched into crocheting, video games, and (very recently, very bravely) 3D modeling. Give her anything with a learning curve and she'll have it mastered before you finish reading the instructions.
