👋

I’m Kevin Zhai!

I grew up drawing comics and making films…

and went to Stanford, where I studied art and computer science!

After graduating, I moved to NYC to join an early-stage startup and scaled it for over 4 years as a lead engineer and a manager.

Then the pandemic happened.

I woke up and realized I still missed my early creative days.

After months of fretting and deliberation, I finally quit my job without anything else lined up.

I wanted the space to explore and discover what I wanted to do next.

It’s been quite a roller coaster, and it’s not over yet!

as I'm looking this over, I've done/learned/unlearned a lot on my sabbatical yet I don't even feel like I've started in many ways
