A design studio crafting refreshing brands for an ever-changing world — from Sydney to San Fran to Seoul.

We’re delighted to introduce the newest member of the Universal family, Joy Li! Bringing to the table bright ideas and a keen eye for detail, Joy will be a fresh-faced addition to grace the screens of our remote studio. While this isn’t her first rodeo, Joy has accumulated four years of brand experience under her belt and has worked with the likes of Adobe and HP. When she isn’t locked-down, she likes to go outside and snorkelling. We’re glad we can welcome her into our home(s).
