Ray Yuen. Design and Illustration.

Currently living and working in New York City, I am a graphic designer and illustrator originally from New Jersey.

I used to work for Pokémon as an in-house designer (yes, they are still around).

Storymaps

I supplied the illustrations for a PhD study by Sean Hammond. Essentially, it is a tool that kids can use to enhance their storywriting skills. In Sean’s research, he broke down the various elements of a fairy tale and I illustrated said elements as cards. The kids would then pick and choose the story elements they want to include and the software would help them plan out the story.

Pokemon Licensing Show
In 2007, we put up a booth up at Jacob Javitts center. The purpose of this event is to get more licensees to sign on with the brand to develop products. The space had little private meeting areas and an open area where the products were showcased. It took us about one day to set up with the help of five union men. 1 2 3 4

Exercises in which I examine the strange things that occur in the Pokémon video games. Are things lost in the translation? You can breed Pokemon? You can dress them up? (This one will probably difficult to understand for people who aren't familiar with the universe.)

Pocket Pokédex
A mini-version of the Pokedex for the video games. This project was small enough that we were able to keep it in-house. About 500 pages of pure stats, charts, move-lists and little pictures of footprints and whatnot. This thing was killer!
