Hi, my name is Szuyu Liu (劉思妤).
Stephish is my artistic name. 

I'm a Taiwanese illustrator living in New York City. Before focusing on my passion for illustration, I was once a florist and an MBA student. In terms of art style, I love the combination of geomagnetic shapes and fluid line-work. I enjoy experimenting distinct styles for different projects. If you think we can collaborate, feel free to shoot me an email!
