Salut, ça va?

I’m Timothy Lam Yan Yu, a multidisciplinary and bilingual graphic designer.

I’ve had the chance to work on multiple projects touching different design disciplines while studying for my design degree. I love the creative process, no matter the design area, but I particularly like branding, editorial, motion, and UI/UX design.

My 2+ years of experience working in corporate and freelance settings also taught me a lot about industry standards and how to work with a professional team.

I come from Mauritius,

A tiny little tropical and multicultural island in the Indian Ocean, so I grew up with many cultures at the same time. Basically, I’m a Chinese African who speaks French.

When I’m not designing,

I like staying creative so I’m usually cooking/baking, sewing, crocheting/knitting, reading, or biking (or watching TikToks).

Sliced loaf of bread on a wooden cutting board with a serrated knife, near a kitchen sink. The loaf has a crusty exterior and a soft, airy interior. Some crumbs are scattered on the cutting board.
A decorative lamp shaped like a flower with yellow, crocheted blossoms, a curved stem, and large leaves. The lamp is turned on, casting a warm glow through a crocheted lampshade with a ruffled border, mounted on a round wooden base.
