Iterate & Deliver

and personal projects

Designer

I'm Richie Zhu, a visual and UX/UI designer based in New York City, working across brand identity, print, and digital design. I bring a multilingual perspective to every project — fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese — helping brands connect with diverse audiences through thoughtful design.

I'm driven by my passion for design to solve problems. As I pursue my love for creating meaningful experiences, I continue to hone my design skills and produce impactful work.

Outside of work, you'll find me exploring the city with my camera, flipping through the latest manga, or hunting for the next figure to add to my collection. Let's have a milk tea sometime and talk design.
