Erqing Xu is a designer living in Shanghai, China. She became an exchange student, arriving in the United States by herself at age 16. She has loved everything art related since she was little—she was always doodling on her homework papers and getting yelled at by her teachers. Her love of illustration and lettering made her fall in love with graphic design. Her work is mainly focused on branding and packaging. Coffee, plants, and furry animals are her favorite things in the world. When she is not doodling or making logos and other design stuff, she likes to watch movies, explore new restaurants, and pet other people’s dogs.
