Hello there, I’m Coco


I’m a digital designer with 8+ years of experience specializing in graphic design, art direction, UI/UX, motion, and 3D. Drawing from a multicultural background, I merge strategy and creativity to craft expressive, impactful work that resonates across platforms and audiences.




Born and raised in China, I began my journey to the U.S. 14 years ago as an international student, collecting stories and perspectives from many different cities before landing in the City of Angels. Drawn to cinematic storytelling, I pursued a BA in Film and Media Studies, where I discovered a deep passion for title sequence animation—a perfect blend of motion, design, and storytelling. That journey ultimately led me to pursue an MFA in Visual Communication Design, where I could transform curiosity into craft and ideas into impact. 

Since graduating, I’ve gained valuable experience working at multiple creative agencies—making magic at Disney’s in-house agency Yellow Shoes, crafting digital campaigns for Epic Games and Activision at Five by Five Global, and most recently working across a wide range of digital products from websites and social campaigns to immersive brand experiences at Thinkingbox. These roles have given me a holistic understanding of how strategy, design, and storytelling come together across all platforms to create meaningful, impactful work. 

I’m eager to keep growing as a designer, nurturing my curiosity, and continuing to sharpen my fluency in the visual language that connects us all. Let’s create something fun together!







Current Values:

  • Stay curious, think boldly, and design with intention.
  • Design with sympathy—when empathy leads, design becomes a way to connect, support, and uplift.
  • Design with purpose—always ask why. Meaningful design begins with intention and every design choice should serve a reason greater than aesthetics.
  • Never fear the redo or asking too many questions. Great design doesn’t happen in one shot.
  • Keep observing, questioning, learning and absorbing inspiration from the world around it.
