CHIU, Shih-Bo
Graphic Designer / Visual Communicator / Mandarin Instructor
Multidisciplinary Creative Professional specializing in Branding, Editorial Design, and Environmental Graphics. My career is defined by a unique ability to translate complex narratives—whether for a city, a candidate, or a corporate brand—into compelling visual identities. From managing end-to-end publishing workflows to styling visual aesthetics for urban planning projects in East Asia, I bring a global perspective to every challenge. Currently based in Japan and working with an Australian design firm, I thrive in fast-paced, cross-cultural environments where design integrity and strategic marketing intersect.
