Bio
Hello, I am Ning. Being a communication designer, I have great passions on diving into different interdisciplinary areas and exploring the possibilities of design to influence the world based on my critical reflections especially about some overlooked problems from the daily life. I am interested in using various communication methods and medias such as book design, installation, photography and illustration, to find efficient and diverse design outcomes which not only center about visual aesthetics but also evoking resonances with people through experiences, further inviting them to reflect on revealed themes involving culture, human relationships, visual storytelling and others in contemporary world. I hope I can use my creations and abilities through communication design to bring more visually poetic and thoughtful design works for sustainable and warm social environment, and to provide chances for people to understand and build deeper connections between the world around them.
