Join AAF Buffalo and Jordan Wong as he details his creative career and how he inspires others to ignite their own imaginations.
From being unable to find work and getting fired from his first (and last) design job to becoming a full-time, museum-exhibiting artist, Jordan Wong (WONGFACE), will share his experience of challenges and lessons learned in achieving a life of fulfilling creative work.
Jordan Wong (WONGFACE) is an artist who loves to inspire, delight, and encourage others through dynamic, imaginative visuals and metaphorical iconographies. He is fascinated with moments of triumph found in Asian art (namely Japanese anime and manga), comic books, and video games. These inspirations have fueled the creation of large-scale illustrative installations and public artwork throughout the city of Cleveland, where Jordan lives and works. He has also exhibited work at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh (2020) and the Akron Art Museum (2021). Jordan is the president of the Cleveland chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design, and was featured in Graphic Design USA's People to Watch 2021.
