I’m Dylan. I create identities, characters and visual worlds — with an artist’s eye and a designer’s sense of purpose.

Now expanding my practice into AI-assisted imagery and film.

Art meets new tools

AI-assisted imagery
& moving image.

I’m currently developing my practice in AI-assisted image creation and film, building on a background in drawing, visual design and game art.

My current learning and experiments focus on visual development, character consistency, composition and storytelling across moving images.

A little background

Design, grounded in art

An artist’s foundation.
A designer’s practice.

I’m a California-based visual designer with more than 15 years of experience across games and brands. I’ve worked both at the drawing board and in art direction, shaping individual images and the visual language around them.

I studied at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University. Drawing remains a part of how I think — about character, proportion, color and what an image needs to say.
