Ever since the age of 5, when his grandfather folded a frog from a dollar bill, Frank Ling has had a fascination with the art of paper folding. In 2012, he began working as an instructor at Taro’s Origami Studio in Park Slope. At the studio he served as its Manager, and spent his time teaching students, leading workshops, and field trips. He has been the creative lead on commissioned projects for clients like Cadillac, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Hudson yards, and Sandro. Outside of Taro’s, Frank has done consulting work for The Mill and collaborated with local Brooklyn artist Erika Barratt.
Frank enjoys all disciplines of the origami and likes to dive into new techniques and models as quickly as he finds them. For a challenge, he prefers the work of Satoshi Kamiya and Quentin Trollip. He enjoys folding tessellations, corrugations, and creating his own origami designs for both business and pleasure. Additionally, Frank has experience with papercraft and paper-art design and fabrication. Digitally, he utilizes programs like Illustrator and Blender to both plan and execute a diverse range of projects.
