James Quan: Chairman and Founder

Winnie Chan: CEO and Founder

Founded by James Quan and Winnie Chan, Bynd Artisan is created as the modern interpretation of Winnie’s grandfather’s bookbinding business. By incorporating personalisation elements that are inspired by James’ twenty years of gift-design experience for high net worth clients, Bynd Artisan is the fruit of collective intelligence from the husband and wife team.

With an eye for details and the latest trends, James takes care of the design, product development & sales/marketing aspect of Bynd Artisan while Winnie leads the branding, administration and manufacturing processes. Winnie also enjoys working with paper mills and tanneries to explore her imagination and design concepts with new materials and mediums. On the other hand, James’ trove of sales experience and passion for meeting new people place him at the front-line. By building on individual strengths, James and Winnie are able to understand and manage most parts of the business. This in turn facilitates insightful discussions about the company’s operations on a micro and macro level.
