CV — Echao Jiang

Profile

Senior designer with an integrated, multichannel background, trusted by both brands and agency clients.

I’m well suited to projects that call for multifaceted design thinking, where a cohesive campaign or project has to come together across many formats, from editorial design and printed reports to digital assets and presentations. I work alongside a wide range of teams, turning competing priorities into clear creative workflows.

I take projects from brief to delivery — interpreting the brief, shaping concepts, managing production and coordinating feedback across stakeholders, all while keeping deadlines and quality on track. Clients rely on me to balance creativity with practicality. I bring an audience-focused mindset, natural design instincts, commercial awareness and close attention to detail to every project.
