about
our story
hi, hej, ni hao!
Since a young age, Fran’s south-east asian heritage and upbringing in London has fuelled a boundless curiosity to explore both 'east' and 'west'. With a background in economics, geography and fine art, she enjoys discovering the inter-connectivities between business, design and culture, whilst challenging a west-centric worldview.
Fran’s love for illustration has been brewing for some time alongside a less-creative corporate career and many contemplative cups of tea. In 2018, solo-travelling overland 14,000km along the old Silk Road, elevated her appreciation for Asia to what it is today.
Launched in November 2021, Frankk Studio creates asian-inspired projects to celebrate diversity, explore current social impacts and inspire positive change.
London-based, east-inspired.
Inspired by asia’s heritage, from Uzbekistan’s markets to Hong Kong’s skyline, we draw Asian designs for a modern western lifestyle.
With nostalgia and sentiment for asia’s past and present, Frankk Studio illustrations look to connect the east and the west.
be free, funky & proud
Like the wild and beautiful spirit in Asia, Frankk Studio designs express a state of being that is free, prosperous and thriving.
Our designs bring the best of both worlds together into harmony, like Yin & Yang, traditional & minimalist, humble & proud.
