Hi, I am Joey Hou :)
A Graphic Designer and
A Creative Writer.


My approach to design is grounded in both logic and empathy.

I’ve always been drawn to blending analytical thinking with an innovative mindset, seeking to reshape how to solve problems. After earning a business degree in China, I transitioned to graphic design, where I found a hands-on way to bring abstract ideas to life. Business gave me strategic insight, but design allows me to engage directly in problem-solving. 

I see design as the perfect bridge between creativity and technology, transforming concepts into tangible, impactful solutions. In my graphic design practice, I aim to create work communicating complex ideas and inspiring meaningful change.
