I’m Gwen (Hui) Geng. I look for abstract connections between tangible structures. Majoring in math and science in high school, I enjoyed the moments when questions and answers were connected with because and therefore. The world was organized into causes and effects for me at that time, and I’m still eager to calculate the mysterious logic between components. I think emotionally and work rationally. This exploratory mentality influences me as a graphic designer. I look for potentials to propel concepts and communicate. With each project, I find inner connections between different elements and media, identity possibilities, and visualize conceptual results.
