Hi! My name is Qi Chen, an illustrator, printmaker, and gif maker. I were born in Hunan, China, and is now based in New York City.  I am studying Illustration MFA at Fashion Institute of Technology currently.

I am interested in telling funny stories. My works are full of freedom and are characterized by curvy and playful lines and vibrant colors to deliver emotions. My ideas come from what I see in my daily life and my imagination.

I interned at Retreat Interior & Architecture Design, Changsha, Hunan, China, in which she contributed design ideas and exerted efforts for logo design in 2019. In 2022, she worked for Kim Long Co., Ltd., Hanoi, Vietnam as a package designer.

I am skilled in computer programs to make illustrations, GIFs, and designs. Also, as a huge fan of printmaking, I am experienced in letterpress, etching, silkscreen, and Riso print.   I use watercolor, gouache, ballpoint pen, acrylic…… I LOVE to try different materials.
