Hey, I AM celia!
Born and raised in New York City, I consider myself a jack of all trades. But currently, my focus is on graphic design, where I'm passionate about creating unique, eye-catching visual concepts and bringing my ideas to life. I care deeply about making visually stunning works that are also socially and culturally impactful, and my main career goal is to express my creativity and communicate messages through art, as I believe it can surpasses all language barriers and can speaks to everyone.

in my free time,
When I am not designing, you will find me listening to music, watching Cantonese dramas, playing Town of Salem, or even taking naps! I also like to scroll through reels and shorts to learn more about different tooltips related to graphic design and arts. I know there are unlimited possibilities within this creative field and that there is always opportunities for me to broaden my skill sets and stay informed and relevant with the current design and art trends!
