Ryan is a graphic designer and artist based in Brooklyn, NY, USA—originally from Zhubei City, Hsinchu, Taiwan.
He uses and makes type to speak for himself and others, often through graphic identities, publications, custom type and lettering, spatial, and digital experiences. In his work, he enjoys exploring and investigating themes of culture, history, and locality.
These days, you can find Ryan listening to yes, mama ok?, reading about the retro Hayashi Department Store in Tainan, and learning the stroke orders to write 隸書, the Chinese clerical script.
