A woman with glasses and long dark hair, smiling slightly, is sitting by a window and drinking a yellow-colored beverage from a clear plastic cup with a paper sleeve, using a straw.

hi! I’m Jasmine (嘉琪)

I am an illustrator and creative designer based in the New York City area. While my work is primarily digital, my deep curiosity for paper and 2D mixed media inspires me to design and manufacture my own line of junk journal kits. Alongside my design work, I love sharing my personal passions, including journaling, memory collecting, traveling, and crafting, with my online community.

I profoundly believe in slowing down and connecting emotionally with the fleeting life around us. Because of this, I often incorporate bright, vibrant, saturated colors and silly, whimsical styles into the majority of my work.

Though I consider NYC my home, I spent much of my early childhood in a small mountain village in China, a rural setting that was pivotal in shaping the whimsical style I embody today. Many years later, I graduated from New York University as a first-generation college student. While my initial career path steered me far away from art, I found my way back in 2024 and hope to inspire my audience to do the same.

When I’m not drawing, you’ll find me exploring the city with my significant other, watching a Studio Ghibli film, or hanging out with my cats, Juju and Merlin!

Let’s make magic!
