Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2001, Joanne Yulan Jong has worked as a fashion and textile designer, creative director and illustrator, dividing her time between Milan and London. Her design work has always been informed by her eye for simple, elegant forms and a restricted palette of colours.

Her passion for drawing, often with inks and charcoals, has led her back to creating art in its purest form – painting. Her paintings and drawings, using traditional medium such as inks, watercolours, charcoals and oils to industrial floor varnish, often reflect her Chinese heritage. She identifies herself, as an artist, using her Chinese name, Yulan.

With a background in design, Yulan is happy to undertake private commissions and has frequently been asked to create site specific pieces for interior designers and private collectors.
