Logo Design, Brand Identity, and Packaging Design.

Paper is my favorite material. Illustration and sketch are my favorite technologies.

After wake up.

Patience & Passion.

Aesthetics for needs.

design will become a kill that everyone can use.

Memory, dream, and life.

As a cross-cultural Chinese designer who studies in the USA, my views of life, of value, and of the world has been shaped by the East and influenced by the West. I believe that art and design do not recognize national borders; they all create by people and serve to people; our most important responsibility is to contribute to our human civilization and nature environment, even though on the innovative and progressive way to the new era.

Design Process: Research/Brainstorm --> Exploration/Sketch --> Development/Draft --> Completeness/Final

I has always considered that subtle adjustment and smart implementation hided in the common and tiny details are always able to give people surprises, and invisible designs can always bring them profound impressions.

Dreaming.

Pencil & Computer.

It could be short, it also could be long.

I got my most important job experience when I was a freelance in China before I came to the USA.
