Hi, I’m Ying!

I am a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia and currently reside in Toronto, Ontario. While my academic discipline is Political Science, I have pursued many creative outlets since I was young, including sketching, painting, photography, videography, and graphic design. All these outlets have eventually led to where I am today, where I continue to blend my knowledge in political, social, and environmental issues into written and visual content.

Asides from being passionate about design, I also currently have been exploring other avenues of learning. I'm currently exploring interior design, cooking, and UI/UX design. I also love kayaking, rowing, and swimming, so that's where you'll find me in the summer months.
