About

Rosanne Kang is a multidisciplinary creative working across branding, experiential design, illustration, spatial storytelling, and film.

Born in Canada and trained at Parsons School of Design in New York, Rosanne began her career at Naomi Leff & Associates — assisting on Gwathmey Siegel–designed residences for Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, and on boutique interiors for Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren. She went on to build the Promotion Art Department at Hachette Filipacchi’s Elle Decor, developing an early fluency in how luxury is curated and presented to a global audience.

Over the following decades, she founded a design and illustration studio in New York and consulted across global branding, PR, and advertising — working with agencies including Hakuhodo Global, Edelman, Ketchum, and FCB. Her work has spanned luxury spirits, beauty, and hospitality, with clients such as The House of Suntory — Yamazaki, Hibiki, Hakushu — and L’Oréal USA — Kiehl’s, Redken, and Shu Uemura. As Executive Creative Director at Hakuhodo Global, she led experiential campaigns across New York, Paris, London, Chicago, Sydney, and Tokyo, at venues including the Saatchi Gallery in London and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

As Executive Creative Director at Intertrend, Rosanne served clients including Toyota, Chase, and Vitasoy — centering authentic Asian storytelling across advertising, experiential, and branded content. She co-founded Make Noise Today, a platform to combat Asian American racism through empathy, storytelling, and community.

Her work in screen began in film and television art departments — as a Set Decorator on the Netflix/SyFy series Van Helsing and for NBC/Lionsgate’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, as Art Director on the Tribeca Film Festival–premiered feature Two/One (Redrum Films), and the award-winning CBC series Save Me.

In 2020, Rosanne published her first book, Totes Paris — a Parisian guide to culture, language, and travel, illustrated by hand and distributed by Simon & Schuster (US) and MacMillan (UK). A love letter to her late shiba inu Totoro, the book has found readers of all ages. 🐾

She has since expanded fully into filmmaking as a writer, director, and producer. Her short film Sunday (2026) has won multiple international awards, and her debut feature Fresh — currently in pre-production — has been nominated for Best Screenplay at the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival and named a semi-finalist at the Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, among others.
