Ava Cheah is a designer and art director with a focus on graphic design, branding, and visual storytelling.
Curious by nature and always evolving, she is drawn to work that explores culture, sparks connection, and invites new ways of seeing. With a third-culture upbringing, Ava brings a layered perspective to the way she thinks, creates, and communicates.
Her experience spans social, campaign, UI/UX, print, and video. She combines thoughtful strategy with an intuitive eye for craft. Ava has collaborated with brands like Keys Soulcare, Nancy Twine, and IKEA Singapore, contributing to projects across lifestyle, beauty, and experiential spaces.
She is driven by a desire to stay true to her voice, create meaningful work, and continue growing personally, creatively, and as part of a team.
Outside of work, you’ll likely find her lost in guitar riffs or shaping metal into wearable stories.
