About
A Visual And Handcraft Designer
My name is Sarah Liao, a designer learning in Goldsmiths’BA Design. I believe that good design is a process of continuous innovation and overcoming deficiencies, which includes the combination of Humanities, Environment, Society, Psychology, Education, Economy, and other aspects of knowledge. To achieve this, I have tried various fields of design.
Visual design and crafts are my specialties. After nearly eight years of fine art painting, I created unique colour schemes and adapted experienced hand-drawing skills. Through the operation of various websites and poster design, I am proficient in using design software such as Photoshop, AI, and C4D to reflect multi-dimensional works to make posters and books. Participating interior design internship and leading ceramic handmade workshops helps the communication and cooperation. The sense of space and traditional craftsmanship have become new fields of exploration that I am gradually maturing.
As a designer, I want to help further the use of graphic design within the retail sector through design that is unequivocally functional, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible. As a college student, I hope to try some new breakthroughs based on the design ideas I have mastered and experienced in Europe and China.
