I'm Jackie Zhu, a Freelance Illustrator based in New York city. I have recently received an MFA in Illustration Practice at Maryland Institute College of Art, my work is a mixture of illustration and pattern design. I consider myself a global citizen, originally from China, living much of my youth in Canada, and am now based in the US. I love to draw, and can always be found working in my sketchbook. When I'm not drawing, you will usually find me in the kitchen making warm dinner for my friends. Let's work together!
