Hyein Anne Kwon is a Calgary based illustrator, graphic designer, and public artist. She received her Bachelor of Design in Illustration & Character Design from Alberta University of the Arts. Inquisitive by nature and analytical by instinct, she moves between cultures, Canada, the U.S., and South Korea, with a sensitivity to how identity is quietly constructed through fashion, beauty, and everyday ritual. Her work is bold where it needs to be, and delicate where it counts.
Selected as one of the 21 Next Generation Artists of Alberta, her editorial and lifestyle illustration spans fashion, beauty, and cultural mapping. She begins graduate studies in Urban Planning at the University of Calgary, following her eyes for how communities take shape in August 2026.
