Ho Rui An, JoelInformation
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.

Give Meaning to Data
2024

In the current age, data has become a driving force in our daily lives. Our information channels, interactions, and digital footprints are seamlessly and ubiquitously captured, collected by algorithms, and analysed in data centres to steer the world we live in.

Give Meaning to Data is a three-week collaborative project with Wang Yuexiao and Jade Ng, inviting us to creatively explore and represent data in both physical and digital formats. Across nine sessions, we experimented with data collection, analysis, and visualisation techniques, applying computational aesthetics to transform raw data into compelling narratives.
