Annlettering is Ann Chen

Ann Chen is a Taiwanese American lettering artist, illustrator, and muralist based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Best known as "AnnLettering" on the internet, she specializes in the art of hand-drawn words, a hybrid discipline of design and illustration known as lettering. After graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2015, Ann worked as an in-house designer for local companies for five years before transitioning to freelancing full-time in 2019.

Ann’s approach to lettering is to personify words with emotion and form. Each hand-drawn letter goes through multiple iterations of visual exploration to balance aesthetics and legibility. 

In 2018, Ann was commissioned to design multiple lettering murals for a local interactive art exhibit. This experience ignited a career in creating custom murals for events, retail, workplaces, and public spaces, with over 60 murals completed to date.

Besides murals, Ann’s lettering and illustrations have appeared on merchandise, marketing campaigns, publications, and packaging. She has received commissions from national brands such as Adobe, Target, Tillamook, DoorDash, Hitachi, Prudential, Planned Parenthood, and Oatly, as well as Utah-based clients including The Gateway, City Creek Center, Fashion Place Mall, TruFru, and Chatbooks.
