Who am I?

My name is Rachel Lyu. I am a graphic designer and illustrator originally from Shanghai, China now based in Brooklyn, New York where I currently attend Pratt Institute’s Communication Design program.

What do I do?

I tell stories through motion, books, typography, UX/UI, photography and illustration. I lean towards a people first culture and that represents itself within my work. I approach my work through the focus of cultural narratives and environmental awareness.

What do I do outside of creating?

I can be found enjoying a movie, going out to eat, exploring new parts of the city, networking and building things.

Some recent accomplishments of mine from this past year are showcasing my work at AtypI in Copenhagen, volunteering at Typographics, completing my case study on FloodHelp NY and building my 200 Day Tree Calendar as well as producing a series of publications and animated content.
