about me
my name is stell. i am a hong kong chinese british-born digital artist currently based in manchester, uk.
i am a ba games art graduate currently using the skills i gained to venture into a newfound creative passion, graphic design, namely brand and merchandise design.i specialise in character design, concept art and portrait illustrations. telling the stories of people and characters through their design creates a joy and magic that i've loved since owning my first sketchbook. my art style can be adaptable though my home lies in semi-realism, with my hallmark sparkles and hearts sprinkled throughout my work.
i have additional experience in games ui design and 3d character work including texturing.when i am not exploring and self-teaching graphic design, i like to keep busy with my art store and commission work!
for commission work, please check out my commission and store site or message me on my social media.i currently have no graphic design specific services, however please email me if you are interested in design work from me.

brand design and social media graphics for a podcast discussing kpop.i wanted to capture the entertainment industry aspect as well as the pop/internet culture side of the podcast topics with a touch of femininity.capturing a part of the hosts was important to the design which was reflected through the favourite colours of the hosts.
the final album part of my personal portoflio project following 'Design for the Job You Want' class by Alison Koehler on Skillshare. this was my favourite redesign! i love the minimalist and elegant theme. i enjoyed creating the flower illustrations which was the main element and focus of this album. i really loved the range of colours in the original design which i incorporated but with a minimalist and sophisticated touch. my favourite inclusion is definitely the postcard, so much so that i think they would be wonderful to be made as merchandise.
the first album part of my personal portoflio project following 'Design for the Job You Want' class by Alison Koehler on Skillshare. i drew a lot of inspiration from the haziness of the music video, which lead to the smoke imagery used throughout this design. i thought a lot about the concept of 'duality', i felt like light and dark really summarised it well as well as the fact it connected well with a lot of lyrics used throughout his songs. this was my first time designing a product like this and looking back there is a lot i would change and improve especially about the process.
the second album part of my personal portoflio project following 'Design for the Job You Want' class by Alison Koehler on Skillshare. it was so fun to redesign this album! i loved the teen vibe of the concept so i wanted to push further into that. i was very inspired by secret diaries, doodles and collages that i used to keep as a young teen which is the basis of my concept. i designed some stickers as inclusions because i liked the idea of being able to decorate the outer box yourself. i really enjoyed how playful the design for this album turned out!
