Hey there! I’m Vyolet Jinヾ(＾ ᗜ ＾)◞ • *✧
Let’s work together! ٩( ᐛ )( ᐖ )۶
I'm a Chinese Illustrator based in New York. Trained in Illustration and visual storytelling, I work across editorial, publishing, exhibitions, and self-initiated projects, moving fluidly between commercial commissions and personal worlds.
I specialize in:
My work often blends fun compositions, energetic characters and whimsical vibes to explore emotion, memory, and everyday moments that feel a little surreal. I’m especially drawn to projects that value strong concepts, visual rhythm, and a distinctive voice.
Alongside client work, I actively participate in art book fairs and exhibitions in New York, using zines, prints, and merchandise as extensions of my illustration practice.
