Born in New York and raised in Hong Kong, Lexi is a freelance illustrator and designer. Having recently graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a BFA in Illustration, she is currently pursuing a career in children’s books, with love for cats and birds and an interest in handlettering.

Lexi uses color and line to fantastically explore lighter subjects such as intimacy, nostalgia, and companionship, as she believes that art serves an important role in bringing imagination and brightness into our current world of chaos.

Her interest in arts began at a young age, and flourished after majoring in BTEC in Art in Design in highschool. Her art has been recognized by many awards and nominations, including the ESF Abraham Shek Award, Silas H. Rhodes Scholarship, SVA Alumni Society Jack Potter Memorial Award, and the Robert Eric Farmer award. Her most recent children’s book, Goodnight, Shima, was selected for exhibition at SVA’s 2026 Illustration and Comics Senior Showcase.
