Josie Ng
About
Josie Ng is a graphic designer working across multiple media, with a practice grounded in emotion, inner states, and symbolic language. Her design approach is both introspective and research-led, often translating subtle psychological and emotional landscapes into tangible visual forms.
During her studies at the Royal College of Art, Josie focused on using dialogue as a method to uncover how people navigate their inner worlds. Through conversations, workshops, and participatory tools, she explored how personal feelings, when given space and language, can transform into shared resonance and symbolic meaning. Her work spans typography, printed matter, and conceptual systems, often shaped by reflective research and collective storytelling.
Her project “The Key Within” explores and supports the emotional transitions experienced by students entering liminal educational spaces, using the Royal College of Art as its site of inquiry. Through symbolic metaphors and reflective design, it investigates how states of uncertainty, in-betweenness, and becoming can be recognised, expressed, and accompanied.
