WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Meet the Creative
Hi, I’m Lily! And I've always been an artistic kid (I even won some wild awards—elementary school art competitions were serious business). Graphic design is unironically my passion, and I’m a firm believer that rules are meant to be broken—at least in design. I’m obsessed with pushing ideas to the limit and finding new ways to solve creative problems. Whether it's during a morning run, a random shower thought, or a late-night journaling session, I’m always cooking up big ideas. For me, design isn’t just about looking cool; it’s about telling stories and solving problems through creativity.
What inspires me:
Community: A group of people with a shared goal always fuels me. As someone who's super extroverted, being involved in my community is a huge part of who I am.
Culture: I’m fascinated by what connects people—whether it’s heritage, pop culture, or counterculture.
Design: Barbara Kruger and Paula Scher are my design idols, and their influence is everywhere in my work! But I find inspiration in everything, from quippy ads on the street to bathroom graffiti. The possibilities and mediums of design are limitless.
