About
Heather Zhou is an artist and creative designer based in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, nature, and personal exploration, she creates vibrant, joyful illustrations and surface patterns filled with whimsical characters, playful shapes, and bold colors. Her pieces bring a lively, uplifting energy to products, packaging, and spaces.
Heather’s childhood was quiet and simple. She immersed herself in books and fictional stories, and it was during this time that the seeds of her creativity were sown. Over the years, she has developed her unique style and honed her artistic techniques. Today, she focuses on bringing the wonderful characters and scenes she imagines to life, and precisely conveying subtle emotions and personalities through every stroke and every color.
