Reach out to me via @joyceho.x or email. My work has been featured on It’s Nice That and recorgnized by Young Ones Portfolio. I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design’s Graphic Design BFA in 2024.

At the moment, I see myself as a graphic designer interested in creating concept-driven systems that balance design with art. That’s it so I’m adding this extra line so the type looks balanced on this page.

CURRENTLY ON VIEW

(RISD BFA Thesis)
2024

An extension of my interest in media studies with the Rock Books, my thesis goes forward building 5 versions of the same story to critique the dilemma of perfect design. It’s an alluded look at the history of mechanisms designers have used to represent information, but also a starting point on how designers go forward if we can’t reach perfection.
