Creative solutions for all
Hi there, welcome to my portfolio
Ever since a young age China has been drawn to the world of art and design. It all began with simple pencil sketches on paper found scattered around the house, but soon she found herself diving into exploration in oil painting, watercolor, and eventually digital art. Over the years, China’s passion for creating only grew, leading into the exciting world of digital design.
When China is not immersed in design projects, you might find her lost in a good book, experimenting with video editing, or playing around with motion graphics—she is always exploring new ways to express creativity.
Design, for me, is all about transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. I’m particularly fond of crafting clean, minimalistic designs that speak clearly and powerfully. There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking an idea and turning it into a visual that resonates.
