About
Jun Zuan "JZ" Ang (thisisjz) is a Singapore-based designer and artist whosewhose work is rooted in observation, memory and everyday life. Working between design and art, his practice spans objects, drawings and concepts, reframing the familiar through found materials, absurdity and humour.
While spending over a decade in graphic design as his profession, he often sneaks away from practice to pursue art. His ongoing body of work is largely documented on Instagram and TikTok under the moniker thisisjz, in the simple hope of making people’s day.
