Hello! My name is China, I'm an illustrator specializing in the surface pattern design industry. I graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco where I earned my BFA in Illustration. While studying my focus was Children's Book illustration with Watercolor and Cut paper collage. After graduating I wrote and Self-published my very own children's book. I have worked for clients on a freelance basis creating graphics for Ad campaigns, branding and T-shirt Designs. After taking a few classes in Printmaking at City College of San Francisco, I discovered my love for Linocut Art and began pursuing this path by selling my original works and exhibiting in galleries.
I love to collaborate with companies in the Paper goods Industry, specifically creating art for Stationery, Journals and Notebooks.
When I am not designing I enjoy Hiking, bicycling in parks and soaking up the sun with a book.
If your interested in working together you can message me below!
Thank you!
