As we move forward and enter a new chapter for The Expat, I want to take a

moment to publicly acknowledge and express my gratitude to Andrew Ding.

In collaboration, Andrew and I originated the creative vision for The Expat. His

vision and direction for the concept, aesthetic, and brand identity were of

paramount importance to the creation of this restaurant. We appreciate his

contributions for crafting the visual, atmospheric, and aesthetic

identity that gives

The Expat its distinctive feel. His contribution to the foundational ideas that

shaped what The Expat has come to represent to the community, and for that we

thank him.
