Hello! My name is Aiken and I'm a Chinese-Canadian illustrator and graphic designer. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in commerce and currently work full-time as a designer in tech and as a freelance creative based in Calgary, Canada.
I've worked with creative studios such as Chairman Ting Industries Inc. and Hubert Kang Photography as well as organizations like United Way, CBC Radio, the Canadian National Film Board, and more.
I like to create illustrations that connect, interact, and tell a story with viewers. My art is inspired by pop culture, politics, and personal stories.
