Chen Luo is a graphic designer and educator based in Maryland. In 2026, she will join Howard University as an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design. She has previously taught at MICA, the SMFA at Tufts University, Boston University, and UMass. Chen maintains an independent design practice, collaborating primarily with artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. She is also the co-founder of Body&Forma, a collective design practice that bridges linguistic and cultural barriers through publishing and performative workshops. Her work reconfigures reading and writing gestures as bodily acts, transforming static materials into participatory, communal, and kinetic forms of publishing. She currently explores how embodied publishing can engage diverse readerships and foster communal experiences. Her work has been recognized by Communication Arts, NewOne Awards, Design 360°, Boston Art Review, and The Young Ones TDC, and exhibited in Canada, Italy, Japan, China, Korea, and the United States.
