Illustration Reach out to me via @joyceho.x or email.  You can also read about my latest feature on It’s Nice That. I’ve also luckily been awarded the Young Ones Portfolio winner earlier this year.At the moment, I see myself as a graphic designer interested in creating research and concept-driven systems that balance design with art. If you have an idea, I aim to find a way to communicate it stronger visually than verbally.
