Hey THERE! I'M zoya.
WHO
I'm a Chinese-American designer and illustrator based in New York. My work is inspired by a genuine love for people and their stories, as well as a passion for food, mythology, and languages. I recently graduated from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Visual Art and Anthropology, completing a colloquium on the Anthropology of Color.
WHY
My design philosophy is empathy, with a side of playfulness :^)
In addition to design and illustration, I've worn many different hats in the field of visual arts and my work takes strength in the ability be a "jack of all trades."
WHAT
I especially like to dabble in:
-
Branding
-
Art Direction
-
Film Concept Art
-
Character Design
-
Illustrated GIFs
-
Anything that involves the intersection of multiple mediums.
On my off time, I can be found stressing over houseplants or eating my weight in hot pot.
