About
Joanna Wai Ling Shuen is a visual communication designer whose practice is bound by material exploration. From print to image-making to digital, her practice involves playful experimentation and in-depth research that examines the past and analogue processes to help inform and communicate her ideas. The result is a unique visual style with strong conceptual solutions which present reality in unusual and visceral yet thoughtful ways. Her hands (and house) usually bear remnants of her current project. She is currently working as a graphic designer at Sydney Theatre Company.
