Hi, I’m Haw Shing Yee, a Malaysia-based designer and illustrator with more than eight years of experience creating books and marketing materials. I studied Illustration at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore and have worked as a graphic designer across Singapore and Malaysia, shaping visual identities and layouts for publishers and ministries. I enjoy turning ideas into print and digital visuals that engage and inspire. When I’m not designing, I love traveling, nature sketching, and finding patterns in everyday life; these observations fuel my creative process and help me bring fresh perspectives to my work.
