Sobremesa with Lisa Cyang

A conversation about finding your path in a creative industry.

Sobremesa is a monthly interview series featuring conversations with some of the most creative people across different industries. Each conversation explores the stories, creative processes, and perspectives that shape each artist's work.

This month’s guest is Lisa Cyang — art director, set designer and photographer based in Montreal. Her work is truly special and I am always inspired the whimsical realities she creates through her art. I am honored to have her as a guest on the newsletter!

Lisa, I am a big fan of all the work you do across creative direction, photography, and set design. I can’t believe I get to interview for my newsletter! I am curious about how you started in these disciplines and if you were always sure about pursuing a creative career.

I actually never knew this industry existed. Growing up, my parents weren’t super involved in my schooling and as immigrants from Taiwan, they didn’t exactly encourage or know much about pursuing arts as a career.
