Hi, I am Alina. Nice to meet you!
My name is Alina (Jiawen) Zhang, a designer based in New York with a background in graphic design and a passion for conceptual storytelling, branding, and visual systems. Currently pursuing my MFA at the School of Visual Arts, I thrive on turning abstract ideas into visually engaging experiences.
Here, I don’t confine myself to a single visual language. I believe in learning, absorbing, and adapting — each project becomes an opportunity to try something new, to respond to different contexts, and to grow through making. From playful experiments to polished systems, variety is not a contradiction, but a core value.
If what you found here feels a little odd yet oddly delightful, chances are—you’ve stepped into the real Alinaland.
