I am a graduate of the animation program at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, one of the top four art schools in China, with further training in International Communication from Royal Roads University. I have 15 years of professional experience as an animator and UX designer working in the videogame, illustration, and internet industries. In these roles, I contributed to visual projects ranging from the design of graphics, software applications, and platforms. With this experience, I have learned to approach design problems with empathy, understanding the client's perspective, and creating solutions that they will appreciate and adopt. I am eager to continue my journey as a designer now that I have acquired additional skills tailored to the Canadian context.
