“Mrrrrrrrrrrr meow. MEOOWWW! Meoowww, mew mew.”
—Leelee Mao
I've always loved storytelling, whether through words or visuals. A well-crafted narrative leaves a lasting impact, which is what first drew me into graphic design. While many elements contribute to a strong design, a clear and compelling message is
what resonates.

I stumbled into the BFA program on a whim, driven by a creative passion and desire to grow. The rigorous workload often felt overwhelming, as if it were violently shaking me by the collar, but it taught me resilience and strengthened my ability to communicate through design.
Through this journey, I developed a passion for branding, motion design, and 3D modeling. Exploring these areas has deepened my understanding of design’s role in storytelling and its ability to connect with an audience. As I move forward, I’m grateful for the people who have influenced my growth and the experiences I’ve gained through the BFA program.
I look forward to applying what I’ve learned and continuing to push the boundaries of
visual communication.
