By day, as our lead designer, she is the incredible talent behind the lovely designs and layout in this very magazine. By night she is a watercolor artist, illustrator, calligrapher and stationery designer with her own business— www.sckcart.com . She finds inspiration for her art in botanicals, patterns and her pet bunny! Sharon is an animal lover and enjoys drawing pet portraits too. Sharon studied Commercial Design at CUHK where she learned photography in addition to painting, sketching and 5 design subjects including fashion, jewelry, interior, graphic and 3D animation. She spends her weekends sharing her creativity by teaching children, and sometimes adults, acrylic painting techniques. We very much value her talent here at Playtimes. DESIGNER Sharon Chong t: 2201 9707 e: [email protected] HEAD OF ONLINE STRATEGY Rosa Maria Cheng t: 2201 9724 e: [email protected] CEO David Tait t: 2201 9727 e: [email protected] Angela Baura Angela was born and bred in not-so-sunny England where she spent her childhood years performing on stage, writing poetry and reading books. Engrossed in the world of words, she forgot to apply to universities. She hastily copied her friend’s application forms and found herself studying information technology for three tedious years. After an uninspiring stint in IT consulting, she parted ways with programming and pursued a rewarding career in Public Relations. In 2006, Angela and her husband moved to Hong Kong where she now spends her adult years performing multiple roles as a mother of three, a writer and communications strategist, and a book-devouring addict.
