Hello and welcome

Thanks for visiting dittofunky.com // Christine Liu // sketchcadet website!

I am a versatile illustrator/designer/surface pattern designer/storyteller, a lifelong New Yorker, born and raised in Chinatown, NYC. I provide creative illustration and design services to meet clients every need.

As a graduate of Parsons School of Design, Parsons Paris (in France!), and Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Arts, my skills are wide-ranging, including traditional and digital mediums.

My experience includes years as an in-house designer working as a surface pattern designer, package designer, design manager, PLM, freelancing in fabric design, and live sketching for special events. Past clients included Burberry, and current clients include Fabric Traditions. I completed a short stint as a graphic designer for a stationery company/calligraphy studio, Weldon Design, during the pandemic.

I actively participate in the artist community, including Surface Pattern Designers, Design Cuts Community, SCBWI, and Storyteller Academy.

Recent activities include Dance Art!, a collaboration project between dancers and visual artists (Link here); published work in Uppercase Magazine (Uppercase #45, #47, #52, and recently #58); part of The Art Students League’s inaugural comic anthology - This Quarantine Life: A COVID 19-Era Comics Anthology. And for fun, I was a 2021 winner of the Design Cuts Festive Holiday card contest.

You can find my artwork on the web and in several online stores. I am available for commission and freelance as well:
