Hi! I’m Kexin!
I have backgrounds in Book art and Printmaking
I studied book arts and printing making in The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA.
My obsession with book arts inspired me to enter the field of graphic design and visual experience. My artist book study has solidified my ability to research, collect, and organize information, which benefits my current study of graphic design and visual experience.

I attained a UX Master's degree after studying at SCAD
I pursued a Master's degree in Graphic Design & User Experience at Savannah College of Art and Design and graduated in the summer of 2021.

My M.A. study offers me an excellent opportunity to seek a deeper understanding of things rather than focus only on the visual aspect. Starting from the problem space lead me to think more about “why” rather than “how.” A deeper understanding of a problem helps me find a more appropriate solution, allowing me to learn more through the process and collaborate with other creators.

And I love furry friends, plants, and polaroidInfluenced by my family, I love greenery. Especially living in the city, makes me more appreciate the energy and vitality that plants bring. I love spending time with my fur kid, and I also enjoy to use polaroid to capture lights and create memories.
I'm always in the mood of connecting with people 
Can't wait to hear from you already!
