Suyeon Jeon 전수연
I am a designer and visual researcher with experience that bridges fine art and digital media design. My practice explores how visual language can connect people—transforming abstract ideas into tangible forms of communication. I value both aesthetic clarity and emotional resonance, creating works that speak not only through visuals but also through meaning and empathy.
Across various projects, I pursue design as a process of connection: between generations, cultures, and perspectives. From branding and editorial design to interactive platforms, my work aims to build experiences that engage, inspire, and invite dialogue. I look forward to collaborating with those who share a passion for thoughtful and human-centered design.
