Linying Design - Web Design + Print

When I was a kid, my mom drew me a colorful, beautiful butterfly. That was the day I knew I wanted to make art. I bought a set of 12 colored pencils, and got to work. When I saw that my classmate had a set of 24, I learned to blend colors together on paper. Before long, I was using 25 colors with my smaller set. I quit practicing piano and chess so I could spend more time in drawing class. I got disappointed when a storm didn′t keep me home from school, but I was even more disappointed when it canceled my calligraphy class. During my first year of high school, I started hovering around storefronts to look at all the window displays, signs, logos and packages. And when I began college as a graphic design major, I finally learned the name of these things I liked: branding.

I moved to Mississippi to earn my Master′s degree six years ago. I graduated in 2008, and started working at Ergon, Inc., as a graphic designer. I hone my skills here, and get involved in as many projects as possible. I enjoy building and coding web user interfaces, and integrate my personal style into everything  I do.

In my spare time, I like to sew, paint and blog. I hover around fabric stores, matching patterns and colors. I check for seasonal store decorations, small gadgets and stationary. I illustrate life around me, blog about things I make, and sell them online. View the stories about me in action here.
