Hi, I’m Zixuan (Lillian) Zheng. I’m a graphic designer.

I care deeply about emotional expression. I grew up in a slow paced city where people look out for one another in quiet, attentive ways. Small gestures steady presence and a kind of care that does not need to be announced. That environment shaped how I see the world and how I work. I pay attention to feelings that are not always spoken.

The pauses, the tone, and the things people carry beneath the surface. I am drawn to work that helps people feel understood, comforted, and connected. In my design process I actively cultivate that emotional link from the very beginning. This way the message is not only understood it is felt and remembered.
