About Julian

Julian was born 7 July 1970, in Ipoh, Malaysia. Eldest of three boys, he is the son of second generation Hakka Chinese migrants.

Being English-educated in colonial Malaya themselves, his parents sent Julian and his brothers to Chinese schools with the foresight of diversifying their written language and culture. It was there that Julian discovered his flair for art and calligraphy.

Julian completed his O Levels (N.I.) in Belfast, U.K., and in 1996 he earned a Bachelor of Design (Graphic Design) at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

Working as a creative for over 25 years, he employs a diverse approach to design that draws on his enthusiasm for calligraphy, typography, illustration and photography. Recognised for his ability to solve problems effectively using various visual tools, Julian almost always includes a hand-drawn element to his work.

Julian works and lives in Melbourne, Australia.
