Yuan Xu is a visual designer, she currently participating in the Werkplaats Typografie project.
Her work covers brand identity, book design, packaging design, typography, posters and moving images, and she specialises in expanding visual language through graphic typography. 
In her design practice, she sees herself as a ‘translator’, intervening in discussions with systematic thinking and building bridges of meaning in dialogues between different dimensions.
At the same time, her personal work explores and visualises ineffable philosophies of life and social experiences by resetting rules and constructing processes, and Yuan is adept at using the interplay of methods, interweaving humour and philosophical reflection to capture the subtle connections between people and society, the readymade, and the verbal and non-verbal.
