About

I’m Sisi Chen, a graphic and visual communication designer based in Guangzhou, with a background in software engineering. I enjoy translating complex technical ideas and data into clear, human-centered visual experiences—especially through editorial design, information design, and visual systems.

I’ve worked across wayfinding and signage redesign, created an editorial series exploring digital error states as real-life mistakes, and designed a strategy board game grounded in Chinese red packet culture. Professionally, I also build product interfaces and visual components, collaborating closely with designers and cross-functional teams to turn visual and UX requirements into working experiences.
