Rejane Dal Bello explains how choosing (or being chosen by) a design career has come to matter to her – and how it can matter to others no matter whether they are also seeking a creative path or are simply curious about the value and possibilities afforded by creativity. Through a mixture of personal anecdote and professional experience, Rejane honestly and emotively reflects on her life and processes, and how they have been shaped by the beauty, challenges of design and the visual arts.

Typojanchi, Type Biennale
2015
Typojanchi, Seoul
Typojanchi: The International Typography Biennale is an international design event that is hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and supervised by the Korea Craft & Design Foundation. Typojanchi was first held in 2001, and it was the only international event under the theme of typography at the time, so it was well received at home and abroad. Since then, the event’s organizing system has been reformed and it has been held as an international biennale since 2011.
