Stephanie Wong

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I enjoy creating engaging and thoughtful design, with a focus on printed and digital mediums, identity and publication design. Activation has taught me to question the ways in which we function, and embrace to new ways of thinking and understanding. My Studio Project aims to foster discussion surrounding Imposter Syndrome, which is often a difficult and uncomfortable experience for many, and quite personal. This project provides a playful and interactive platform in which individuals can be vulnerable with themselves, their Imposter, and others.

By addressing our Imposter in third person, it allows a different perspective to be seen when we often are mentally stuck or struggling. See website for more info on this project!
