HELLO!



I am Ellis, a multidisciplinary graphic designer based in LA and NYC.


I was constantly ︎︎︎
making art
since I was a little kid, waving paintbrushes and pencils as they were magic wands that could bring life to simple lines and color blocks. I was trained in the classical drawing for years before discovering that the dynamism of graphic design is what inspires me the most.

When I was studying graphic design and illustration at ︎︎︎
Shenzhen University
where I earned my BA degree, I found that every detail should be curated as they all have a story to tell. This led me to ︎︎︎
ArtCenter College of Design
where I found new connections between culture, research, and transmedia storytelling.
