about

I’m Jinglin, a graphic design student at CalArts, currently pursuing my BFA. My design spans from imagemaking and visual storytelling to interactive UI/UX websites. I specialize in building poetic, playful experiences—often blending surreal aesthetics with detailed hand-drawn elements and crazy colors. Whether it's a conceptual collage or a whimsical interface, I focus on creating immersive, expressive design systems that bring emotion to function.

“Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds” is a documentary discussing the profound connections between meteorites and human culture. By looking at craters and cultural stories tied to them, the movie touches on humanity’s curiosity for the unknown, the devastating effects of natural disasters, and our quest to understand the origins of the universe. Moreover, “Fireball” reveals the intricate relationship between these “visitors” and human history, inviting viewers to contemplate the deeper mysteries of life and the cosmos.

MeowLog Infographic APP

  • #UX
  • #Illustration

MeowLog is an experimental UI project that tracks pet behavior with a playful visual system. Designed specifically for cats left home alone, the app collects and visualizes activity data such as sleep, eating, sunbathing, and play.

Unlike traditional pet monitoring apps that rely on generic graphs or camera feeds, MeowLog emphasizes emotional connection through warm palettes, modular illustrations, and story-driven charts. The interface blends tactile visual metaphors (like paw stamps and puzzle blocks) with data accuracy, offering users an intuitive, lightweight summary of solo feline routines.
