Hope you enjoyed your stay at my garden. Come back often as I learn to cultivate more stuff.
Let’s talk freelance, grab a (digital) coffee, or just be friends.
Selina is a graphic designer born and raised in Nanjing, China. Currently dwelling in Providence to pursue her 2-year MFA (’25) in Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design. She received her BFA in Communication Design from Washington University in St. Louis. Previously at FCB Chicago.
She takes pride in her one-of-a-kind Chinese name, Kehuan (可幻). It means being capable of imagination, which she tries to manifest in every work with her attention to research and craft. She aspires to capture human connections and elicit the deep emotions that define the human experience.

She loves to spontaneously hop on random buses to get lost, chase sunsets along the water's edge on foot, or immerse herself in existential crisis. As a child, her dream superpower was the ability to fly, but as she ventured from home, she now dreams of teleportation.
