Jason Liao

Graphic Designer / Illustrator

Biography

This is Jason. I am a graphic designer / illustrator specialized in digital design and painting. Please look around and enjoy yourself in my gallery!

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and moved to the U.S. when I was 13. I can speak fluent Chinese Mandarin. 

Design and Gaming has always been my biggest passion, which led me to acquire a degree in Design Studies. My interest also inspired me to teach drawing to various grade levels in my spare time, where I learned curriculum building, reviewing art techniques, and class management. Working as the leader for several projects, I became experienced in coordinating members of the team to meet tight deadlines.

As a graphic designer, I can handle a variety of design tasks including photo retouching, product illustration, video productions, website UI, banners, product manuals, and packagings.  If you are interested in my work, please don’t be hesitate to call me or shoot me an email!
