About Me
Hello, I’m Jennifer Uy, an illustrator and Graphic Designer specializing in print and motion design, with a strong focus on branding. I hold a Fine Arts degree from Emily Carr University of Art & Design, majoring in Visual Arts with a specialization in illustration. Additionally, I am an alumna of New Media Design and Web Development program at BCIT where I earned my Diploma.
Throughout my career, I've focused on capturing the bold, whimsical nature of adolescence-exploring themes of innocence, immaturity, and inexperience. As both a storyteller and painter, I create work that bridges the digital and traditional worlds. Influenced by pop culture, stationary, comics, and animation, I use tools like Wacom Tablet, Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics, Copic Multi-liner Pens, and coloured pencils to ensure the artists presence is felt, regardless of the medium.
My experience attending the ICON Illustration Conference in Detroit, where I saw illustration’s integration with AR, VR, Graphic Design, and Animation, inspired me to explore motion design. This led me to expand my practice in graphic design, with a particular focus on branding, which has been a key aspect of my recent work in menu design. I continue to stay curious and open-minded, embracing trends and technologies that fuel my creative growth.

A Little About Me
Outside of my passion for illustration, graphic design, branding, and motion design, I love exploring new skills and stepping outside my comfort zone. I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading self-help novels, visiting art galleries, sewing, and staying up to date with fashion trends. Watching Asian dramas and finding inspiration on Pinterest are my favourite ways to unwind.
A trip to Cebu, Philippines, inspired me with its support for small businesses, reminding me that hard work and determination can make dreams come true.
When I’m not designing, I spend time with my husband and our Mini Bernedoodle, Yuki, who brings joy to my days. These experiences and creative pursuits inspire me to keep growing and striving toward my dream of a full-time creative career.
