Creators - Influences

Kenya Hara - Graphic Designer

Kenya Hara’s minimalism, Japanese aesthetics, and the concept of “emptiness,” has shaped his own work and left a significant impact on MUJI’s design language and the broader design community. I resonate with his clean designs that drives me to craft typographic experiences that are both simple and effective.

Ren Hang - Photographer

Ren Hang hold a significant place as one of Asia’s most prominent contemporary artists.Their workembodies freedom, defiance, and intimate portrayals of China’s youth, offering a unique perspective rarely seen and high- lighting the complexities of desire, identity, and society.

Cho Giseok - Photographer

With a digital approach, Cho Gi Seok has elevated Korea’s art scene globally. Known for meticulous studio work, he crafts every detail. One artwork depicts a woman crying green plant liquid with daisies, highlighting the human-plant connection. Soft lighting and subtle colours create a nostalgicatmosphere, defining the image’s mood.

Jungie Choi (Graphic Designer)

Jungie Choi, formerly an AUT communication design student, centers her work on the cultural identity of Korea. I reasonate with her concept of celebrating cultural identity through design that not only enriches the creative field but also serves as a tool for empowerment, education, authenticity and fostering meaningful connections among diverse communities.

- gotta wild imagination lmao

- i will overuse adjectives and shit cause i suck at writing LMAO

- 99.5% of the time, i am stuck in a creative block but i'll try my best to upload as much as possible
