Audrey Tay

Content Marketing Executive, Singapore

Audrey’s growing curiosity about the arts therapy profession led her to join The Red Pencil team in 2018.

A graduate from the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), she strongly believes that art-making can be a cathartic process for anyone who partakes in it.
