About

I am a creative and detail-oriented illustrator and storyboard artist with strong experience in animation, video production, and visual storytelling. I thrive at the intersection of art and technique, blending sketching, composition, editing, and 3D elements to craft compelling visuals.

I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life while maintaining a refined artistic vision. My international study background in China and the UK has given me a global perspective and adaptability in diverse creative environments.
