daz_gaoyide

I'm an International teacher from the UK. In a previous life I studied an MA in Communication Design and was a bedroom graphic designer that never really made it. I’ve taught in China, Japan and Germany. I’m currently back in the UK teaching.

Creativity takes precedence

As I’ve been teaching I’ve valued having creative projects on the side. It all started with illustrations in China that later became a Series titled: a rainy day. These were produced during my first three years living in China (2013 – 2016). The ink sketches were connected to experiences and part of the process of my adaption to a completely different culture. The title of the Series and the illustrations are open to interpretation.

I currently operate under the alias: Daz 高艺德. My Chinese name is gāoyìdé 高艺德. I lived in China for six years and after leaving I've maintained my connection because of the relationships that were built plus I'm still curious about Chinese language and culture.
