Hi, I'm Akari (Yuejia) Fu, a multidisciplinary artist currently studying at the University of Michigan with a passion for visual design and character concept art. I have experience working on a role-playing game project titled "Soul of the Forest," where I contributed multiple iterations of character concepts, finalized portraits, and used industry tools such as Jira, Confluence, and GitHub. My background also includes teaching art to elementary students, mentoring, and collaborating across universities. In addition to art and design, I actively promote creative tools as an Adobe Brand Ambassador, organizing workshops and providing peer support. I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills through various roles, including sales consultation and education. I am always eager to connect, learn, and apply my skills in creative and technical projects.
