About
Suhyun is a graphic designer based in Seoul, currently working as an exhibition graphic designer at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA). Her work focuses on translating the narratives and sensibilities of exhibitions into visual language and extending them into spatial experiences.

She spent her middle and high school years in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, before moving to Rhode Island to study Graphic Design. She received her BFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and later returned to Seoul, where she has been working as a graphic designer for the past six years.

Her practice centers on visual language, communication, and the ways in which these languages develop into identity systems. Working across both two-dimensional and spatial design, she explores how visual language interacts with people and contexts, and continues to look for new ways design can create connections.
