Yiying Lu

“Yiying” is made up of two Chinese characters:“Yi” means happy; “Ying” means creative.

I grew up in Shanghai, China, and was educated in Sydney, Australia, and London, UK. I am currently based in San Francisco. I have created iconic culture icons such as the Twitter “Fail Whale”, the pan-cultural 🥟Dumpling emoji, Conan O'Brien Pale Whale, and Disney Shanghai Papercut Mickey Mouse. I have built brands for hundreds of tech startups during my time as the creative director at 500 Startups. I also speak internationally on Cross-Cultural Design, Creativity & Innovation in both English & Chinese,  at TEDx, SXSW, Adobe MAX and so on.
