About
ANNXANNXDESIGN was founded in 2013 by Han-Yin Hsu in Los Angeles, California and is now based in the eclectic West End suburb of Brisbane, Australia. I like to think of the body as a landscape for jewelry. My designs are focused on expressing the elegance of this landscape, and exploring the gesture of each element as it rests on the skin.
DESIGNER'S STORY
I'm passionate about art, sculpture, literature, architecture, and people. Jewellery, to me, is a minimalist art form that integrates all my interests. Originally from Taiwan, I graduated with a Master’s Degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 2011. After working in interior design and architecture, I yearned for a more direct and intimate form of expression. This led me to found ANNXANNXDESIGN in Los Angeles in 2013.
Using my architectural training and sense of space, I started creating 3D-printed jewellery that reflects the personalities of people I meet. Over the years, my focus has shifted from exploring 3D-printing limits to using technology to inspire new ways to “see” and “be seen.” My work invites wearers to envision themselves in unique and unexpected ways.
My jewellery design serves as a visual diary. The current chapter, “tender strength,” uses lines, surfaces, and forms to tell a story, inviting wearers to connect and imagine their own narratives.
Since stepping into education in 2018, I’ve redefined what creativity means to me. It’s not just about artistic outcomes but also about creating joyful, confident experiences for everyone involved. I’m currently enhancing my teaching skills for youth while continuing to explore my identity as an artist and designer through new collections.
