I'm Ying Julia Jing. I'm a photographer, designer, and storyteller passionate about visual storytelling. I love hearing people's stories and I thrive on capturing moments that convey unique narratives. During my downtime, you'll often find me behind the camera, shooting and editing videos to share on my social media. I also enjoy drawing and graphic design to express my creativity. Outside of my creative endeavors, I nurture a love for plants as well and find joy in gardening.
