Brighton, United Kingdom
Johnny Wen is a UK-based Art Director and Creative Designer with a decade of international experience across advertising, branding and visual culture. Rooted in visual storytelling, his practice spans campaigns, graphic design, moving image, illustration and emerging technologies, developing concept-led narratives for both brands and self-initiated projects.
His work brings commercial strategy into dialogue with artistic enquiry, drawing on everyday observation, contemporary culture, humour and social commentary. Rather than being defined by a single medium, Johnny chooses the form that best serves each idea.
