Nice to E-meet you~
My name is Yi Mao, a visual and content communication designer working in print, packaging, digital media, and in physical environments. I have a background in art, photography, and film, which gives my current design work a multifaceted perspective. I care deeply about telling people’s stories and am fascinated by how these stories can resonate emotionally with others. By unfolding stories and creating resonance, I want my designs to help companies and organizations to make meaningful connections to the people that can benefit from what they provide.
我是茅逸。当下作为一名视觉与内容传达设计师,主攻对包装设计、3D渲染、品牌宣传和推广、立体环境设计、艺术指导等方面的探索。个人对于平面设计的视角得益于从小到大的艺术学习和本科期间在电影、摄影、视觉叙事上的训练。个人经历与教育经历也引导着自己更加注重用设计去阐述个体、集体和群体的故事。自己现阶段的设计理念核心是尝试着用视觉传达设计增进人与人之间、人与品牌之间、人与产品之间的共鸣。
