to meet

Azelia is a (graphic) designer based in Singapore. She works primarily in the field of graphic design but isn’t defined by it, expressing her vocation as being print in nature and experimental in character. When she isn’t, she is researching the (book) as an investigation, making books and artists books, which she sells and distributes through 'The Other Workroom’.  


Creating well-crafted works that are the embodiment of synergy between craftsmanship, ideation, and the (unexpected) experience that resonates with people, is her principle which drives the work she does.


She studied at London College of Communication (BA Hons Graphic and Media Design, 2018) and at Temasek Polytechnic, School of Design (Diploma in Visual Communication, 2015) and since Feb 2019 has been a member of DesignSingapore Associate Network (DAN).
