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.

Under Construction:
A photographic journey through Singapore’s evolving Central Business District (CBD)
2024
This project captures the often-overlooked moments of construction, repair, and quiet transformation that define the heartbeat of Singapore’s CBD. Through a documentary lens, the series explores the physical and metaphorical layers of change that shape the city.

Beyond surface impressions of steel and symmetry, the images reveal a city in flux—one that is constantly tearing down, building up, and refining itself. This body of work reflects on Singapore’s ethos of progress and order, while also pausing to consider the raw, unfinished, and transitory aspects of its urban identity.
