Ho Rui An, JoelInformation
WorkMy Right Eye
Ho Rui An, Joel is a Singapore-based graphic and communication designer and a recent graduate of LASALLE College of the Arts with a BA (Hons) in Design Communication. His work operates at the intersection of design and strategy, blending disciplines to craft solutions that bridge practice and research, from printed matter to digital experiences. 

With a deep love for branding, print, and typography, his aesthetic merges minimalism with a distinct sense of gravitas. Naturally curious and strategically driven, he tends to ask too many questions, a weakness for a well-set typeface, and a firm belief that the best ideas only reveal themselves after the tenth iteration.

When he is not in front of his computer, he can be found hunting down the best chicken rice in the city, nursing what is definitely not his fourth coffee of the day, or running @offthepost.store, his curated edit of vintage football jerseys for the discerning collector. He is always open to commissions, collaborations, and the occasional good conversation.

Finding Form Exhibition
2026

Project in collaboration with Audrey Iskandar Finding Form is the exhibition identity for LASALLE's 2026 Faculty of Design BA (Hons) graduate showcase, bringing together 258 designers across six disciplines. The theme centres on malleability and process, the idea that form is not predetermined but arrived at through resistance, revision and instinct. The typeface chosen was CirrusCumulus, constructed entirely without curves and built from modular components inspired by scientific diagrams. Its assembled quality mirrors the theme, each decision deliberate, nothing arbitrary. This modularity gave the identity a playfulness that felt earned rather than decorative. The system was applied across the exhibition entrance frontage, a projection video, and social media.
