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. 😊
