About Me

Salve!

My name is Dian Cai. (Since you might not know how to pronounce it, you can just call me Andy:)

As a visual artist, I blend humor and childlike wonder into my work, exploring ideas through engaging visuals.

Projects

An artist's studio filled with various artworks, including framed paintings and sketches displayed on the walls and a countertop. Architectural models and design pieces are spread across the workspace. A large green plant adds a natural element, and studio lighting creates a focused atmosphere.

Communicative Graphics

Engaging designs that invite exploration and interaction.

Illustrations

Bright and fun illustrations that spark joy and laughter.
