Hello there.
I am Qin Yi, a graphic designer and illustrator who believes in the power of clever ideas.
I’ve worked across editorial, brand, and marketing design—creating everything from corporate reports and book layouts to a pencil case shaped like a baguette. I’m also a published picture book and cookbook illustrator.
I've worked with brands and agencies such as Hogarth Worldwide, Octagon, Resorts World Sentosa, and I run a lifestyle brand, heavyboots.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me at the gym, brainstorming for my next t-shirt drop, or shaking leg at my favorite cai png store.
