Hire the Best Art Directors
in China

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m zhijie, a illustrator and designer with over 15 years of experience in creating unique visual identities and mascot designs. I've had the pleasure of working with clients across a variety of industries, including skate brand, restaurants, schools, clothing brands, and technology company. Being a professional Illustrator and designer includes much more than simply excelling at art or being able to visualize interesting concepts and ideas. It's about developing a deep understanding of clients, their business ideas, their goals, and objectives. It's about capturing their essence and deriving it into what's more than just a solution - an identity. Only by understanding that, a designer can provide an aesthetic solution that truly fits with needs and the character of the client. That's why, during my decade and a half long career of a Illustrator and graphic designer, I've developed all the skills that I need to truly understand your needs and help you realize your ideas from scratch, all the way to the final solution. And if that's what you need, I'll be more than glad to help you on that same road. 😊

I build broadcast-ready MetaHuman digital humans and UE5 cinematic assets at 3x traditional speed using an AI-accelerated pipeline. With 4,500+ Upwork hours logged, I specialize in fixing what AI can't: high-fidelity facial sculpting in ZBrush, complex groom binding, and photorealistic shader setup in UE5. My Niche: MetaHuman Creation & Facial Refinement (ZBrush) AI-to-3D Pipeline (Midjourney/Tripo -> Blender/UE5) Unreal Engine 5 Cinematics & Real-time VFX If your project requires "hero assets" that hold up to close-up renders, let's talk.

I work as a commercial filmmaker across DP (Director of Photography), editing, and color grading, shaping raw footage into structured cinematic work that feels intentional, controlled, and emotionally precise. My focus is not decoration, but clarity — creating rhythm, tone, and visual consistency that hold the entire piece together. In editing, I build pacing and structure so every cut feels motivated and aligned with the narrative or brand direction. Whether it’s interviews, automotive content, fashion campaigns, or commercial storytelling, the objective remains the same: remove noise, sharpen focus, and allow the core idea to breathe. In color grading, I approach each project as a complete visual system rather than a single “look.” Exposure, contrast, and palette become tools to stabilize the image and create cohesion across different cameras, lighting conditions, and environments. The goal is never to over-style the footage, but to give it depth, weight, and continuity. My background spans commercials, branded content, interviews, automotive visuals, and fashion-driven projects. Each format demands a different balance between restraint and expression, and I adapt the visual language accordingly while maintaining a consistent cinematic standard. Hi, I’m Chiu — a professional photographer, DaVinci Resolve colorist, and editor based in Shanghai. I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve, combining technical precision with a director’s perspective to ensure that editing and color function as one unified process rather than separate stages. If you’re looking for a precise and visually disciplined approach to post-production — where editing, color, and storytelling operate as a single system — I’d be open to collaborating.
