I had the pleasure of studying alongside Zhiyao at UAL. I was particularly impressed by Zhiyao's incredible illustration skills, her creativity and her ability to make beautiful art in every project we were given. When we worked on a project together, I got to experience firsthand her ability to motivate us as a team, her positive attitude, ability to work under pressure and it really was an incredible asset to have in the group project. Her creative capacity is endless and I would love to work with her again in the future!
