    1 2018 LA County Women’s Leadership Conference Cover Artist Vickie Huen Program Cover Artist Graphic designer Vickie Huen works in the Community and Government Relations Group of LA County Public Works. Her cover design embodies this year’s theme, “Stronger Together,” with its intertwining, boldly colored lines representing the lives of the many individual women who will come together at the conference, as well as the many different races and cultures that converge in Los Angeles. Born in Hong Kong and educated at California State University Long Beach, where she earned a BA in Graphic Design, Huen combines minimalism with bright colors, patterns, and a sense of play in her work. She is inspired by urban art and the work of contemporary artists such as Yoshitomo Nara, Yayoi Kusama, and Simon Birch, who, like herself, use vivid colors and patterns while drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western visual culture.
