/ Art Director
Suzy An
I’m an Art Director with 7+ years of turning ideas into stories people actually feel. I’ve worked across agencies, in-house teams, and passion fueled startups – blending brand, design, and storytelling to create work that connects.
I love building design systems and campaigns that feel human, make technology approachable, and give brands a sense of purpose. Whether it’s shaping a product launch, pitching the big idea, or bringing a visual world to life across digital, retail, and the real world – I’m all about finding that sweet spot between vision, taste, and execution.
