Hello, I'm Lily
Welcome to my design portfolio! I'm a creative designer with a passion for crafting beautiful and functional user experiences. Thank you for your willingness to take some time to get to know me. Feel free to explore my work and get in touch to discuss how we can bring your ideas to life.
With four years of fashion design studies at RMIT University, developed a personal perspective on the fashion industry. Elective courses included fashion marketing, photography, and psychology, achieving strong results and broadening skill set. Known for being polite and friendly in interactions, actively took on responsibilities in team projects, such as coordinating and organizing the graduation exhibition. With experience in both Eastern and Western education systems, fluent in English and Mandarin, with a strong understanding of cultural diversity.
Now living and studying in Melbourne. While exploring this land, I acknowledge all the aboriginal d people of this land and their cultural traditions. I pay respect to their elders and ancestors for their past, present and future. Our lives continue to be enriched by their generosity and wisdom. I also pay my respect that the people of this land maintain knowledge through an original tradition practiced for generations.
