YILIN ZHANG

FREELANCE ANIMATOR AND DESIGNER

Hey, I'm Yilin. Welcome to my page!

I’m an interdisciplinary visual artist studying MSc in Science Media Production at Imperial College London.

Lately, I've been experimenting with new visual mediums in documentary filmmaking and radio production to create people-driven science stories. I am also the Magazine Designer for Imperial College London's science magazine - I,Science.
