︎︎︎About me

A simple beat can evolve into a mesmerizing symphony of sounds. This is what’s most magical about electronic music, especially techno. Similarly in the design and artistic world, a blank canvas can transform into a dynamic visual composition. The pulses of techno inspire me, pushing me to immerse myself in designing with a similar sense of cadence and progression. As a designer, I’m constantly looking for patterns, shifts, details, and order. I enjoy learning new media and adding them to my design “instrument rack”. For me, it’s all about creating a visual rhythm that catches the eye and tells a story.

Hi! I’m Lillian Zhang, a multi disciplinary graphic designer specialized in brand identity development and physical experience design. Thanks for being here! Say hello at hi@lillianzhang.design, and we can talk about projects, music, outdoors, or anything else!
