hiya, my name is lua lien.
i'm a freelance graphic designer and illustrator studying design at UW-milwaukee.

about me

for the majority of my life i've been an illustrator, and spent years focused on drawing in a unique style off-beat from realistic, classic art. i've always felt that artistic expression should be unique to the individual and more about the freedom of expressing oneself rather than conforming to society's view of what art is and should be.as a teenager i began exploring digital mediums, starting with graphic design and game development. over time i came to enjoy using new technology to develop my work and explore a new avenue of creativity.
