Willington Kuo
Graphic Design & Digital Communications

Clear design for public work.

Willington Kuo · Senior Media Producer, Ontario Public Service

Eight years designing for the Ministries of Labour, Education, and Finance — visual identity, publications, social and video, and the web content behind them. I treat deadlines as a design constraint, not an excuse: a 100th-anniversary campaign, a provincial Budget, a three-day Minister's video all have to hold up under pressure.

Seneca College Graphic Design graduate, now completing a Digital Marketing Certificate at George Brown College. Based in Ontario.
