About
My name is Xinping Li, a Chinese-born illustrator and graphic designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My work focuses on bold forms, bright color palettes, and playful compositions that blend calm, surreal moments with a sense of visual joy.
With a background in graphic design, I create images through the use of textured patterns and layered elements, which add depth and clear focal points. I work across illustration, branding, and digital and print design, using Adobe Creative Suite and Procreate to craft thoughtful, high-quality visuals.
