Hello, my name is Rachel.

I am a creative and well-organized designer with a wealth of diverse experience. These include working as a graphic designer for a UK architecture firm, in the floristry industry, and as an educational assistant supporting students and teachers. With creativity and empathy at my core, I am committed to designing content that inspires audiences, resonates, and helps connect cultures.

I graduated from Birmingham City University with a major in Graphic Communication. I am good at creating narratives and illustrations, especially in children’s, fairy, and folk tales. I once made a children’s colouring picture book and was shortlisted for the Creative Conscience competition. I continue to develop story-picture books and educational resources, and I am committed to making both content and content for different audiences with educational and inspiring work.

In education, I have worked as a teaching assistant in many schools in the UK, mainly serving KS1 and KS2 student groups, assisting teachers in preparing teaching materials and organizing classroom activities. These experiences allow me to understand the needs of students and teachers and apply these experiences to the design of teaching materials to make the design more relevant to actual application scenarios.

I am proficient in using Adobe Creative Suite for brand design, packaging design, posters, layout design, etc., helping different brands create visual images that are both beautiful and practical. During eight months as a graphic designer for an architecture firm in the UK, I assisted the team in delivering high-quality marketing and design materials, including client tender documents, internal brochures, infographics and presentation page design. My experience in the floral industry has given me a deeper appreciation for detail and beauty. I incorporate this aesthetic sensitivity into my design creations to create more sophisticated and attractive pieces.

My multilingualism is one of my strengths in design. I am a native Chinese speaker (proficient in Cantonese and Mandarin), fluent in English, and familiar with daily communication in Japanese. It lets me incorporate cultural and language ​​elements into my design and creation and brings more possibilities to designing multilingual teaching materials and multilingual children’s storybooks. To create more inclusive and diverse design works, provide suitable solutions based on various cultural and language needs.

As a designer, my professional speciality combines visual narrative ability, educational background and language advantages to create works that inspire the audience. I am passionate about children’s stories, fairy tales and folktales and believe in the power of these stories to inspire the imagination and creativity of my audience. I want to bring a more valuable visual experience to users and use creation to bring about positive changes.
