Author: Lisa Huang 黄丽莎
French and Chinese typeface designer specializing in Latin and Hanzi scripts. Currently based in Nantes, France.
Born in France with Chinese roots, she grew up with two cultures simultaneously in Paris and found out the many differences and similarities between French and Chinese ways of life. As a designer today, her practice of typography and typeface design reflects her life experience and keeps a high consideration of both writing systems.
After graduating with a Master’s degree in Art Direction in Paris, she pursued a specialization in Type Design at Type@Cooper (Cooper Union in New York City, USA) followed by a Master’s degree at TypeMedia (KABK in The Hague, Netherlands). Lisa has experience practicing as a freelance designer and in-house art director, working for clients of various sizes and industries, local and international. Eventually, she settled in as an independent designer, to dedicate more time and freedom to activities related to typography along with her design practice, such as workshops, lectures, teaching, and consulting in type design between Latin and Hanzi scripts, shared in English, French, and Chinese.
