Thank you for
reviewing
my work.
Hi there,
I’m Mengyi.

+1 925 314 5082
My name is Mengyi Shao, a graphic designer from China, currently based in Arlington, Virginia.
I am passionate about creating designs that can contribute to changing people’s lives and making the world a better place. I believe empathizing with
the audience I design for is a powerful method for producing effective designs.
Before getting an MFA degree in Graphic Design,
I earned a BA degree in Art and Technology of Exhibition. Besides my love for graphic design, I am interested in architecture, handcraft models,
and geometric / abstract shapes, which sometimes inspires me to create unexpected work.
If you are interested in my work or would like to collaborate, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
