Keyi (b. 1994, Shandong, China) is an illustrator and visual storyteller currently based in Paris, France. With an academic background in agriculture and a master’s degree in Fine Arts, she brings a unique perspective that connects nature, culture, and visual design.

Keyi's work draws inspiration from printmaking techniques and Chinese traditional paintings. Blending motion, humor, and texture, she explores new ways of telling stories that feel both playful and organic. Although she works digitally, her illustrations retain the warmth and tactile quality of handmade art.
