Hi, I'm Muzi
I’m an illustrator and animator. I create picture books and short animations that bring stories to life.
With over 10 years of design experience, I’ve worked with companies in Canada and China, bringing a perspective shaped by diverse cultures to each project. My work centers on emotionally thoughtful stories, and I enjoy collaborating with clients who value illustration and animation as meaningful ways to connect with audiences.
