Bio

To become a designer one must have great creativity, and I can come up with many ideas in short time, everything may be an inspiration to me simply such as a pen, a coin, a card, and I believe these creativities come from life experiences and they stack up, one’s creativity is build up with one’s imagination. To me, a designer is an artist who uses colors in a piece of art to make people feel pleasant and comfortable and understand the what the artist is thinking. I like to recreate drawings, this has become my hobby since I was in middle school, I like to look at references and add some details and change the art on my own.

I was never professionally trained before college.Creating art is a hobby to me, but moving towards in life I have a thought that if I can turn my hobby into my job wouldn’t it be great? some may say no because in job people are focused to do what the client wants, and everything is scheduled. Somehow, I do agree with them, but having passion, and having my hobby as a job can be a great advantage at least.
