About

Hi there, I am Xiyu (Kimberley) Zhang. I am a graphic designer graduated from the Academy of Art University with an MFA in San Francisco. I am a passionate and eager graphic designer dedicated to caring for the needs of every persona and telling the story behind each one. I believe that design is not just about visual aesthetics but also holds the power to bring positive energy to society.
