About Me

Jennifer Wu is a graphic designer based in Melbourne, Australia, working across all media and platforms. Also I have recently just returned to traditional painting. My work and life is largely informed by my passion for popular culture and history through the ages.

Having just completed a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication), at Monash University in 2009, I am now pursuing my crazy obsession for kitsch, collecting the mundane and all things tasteless as a major studio project in the Bachelor of Visual Communication (Honours) degree this year. (Reckon I’m just trying to justify all those trips to flea markets and garage sales, and scavenging eBay for hours on end for obscure vintage material?)

The art and illustrative works of Robert McGinnis, Elaine Duillo, Robert McGuire, Narumi Kakinouchi, Edvard Munch, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pierre Bonnard, Robert Rauschenberg, Neal Adams, Tim Sale, Dustin Nguyen, Dan Brereton, Salvador Dali, Duane Michals and David Bailey are constant sources of inspiration for me.

My love for literature, books and the written word spurs a deeper fascination for typography, type design, publication and editorial design. My favourite writers are Paullina Simons, Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Austen, Jasper Fforde, Tracy Chevalier, Sharon Penman, Tessa Dare and W. Somerset Maugham, to name a few. Apart from making designs and doing what I do best, I hope to write my own fictional novel (likely some post-modern pastiche in the essence of the great Mr Fforde). Possibly two, or three.

I have been a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society since 2008, short-listed for VCE Top Arts 2006 by the National Gallery of Victoria, and had numerous articles published, notably in Meta Journal, a collaborative publication created by my Monash peers, questioning what design means in our local and broader contexts.
