Profile
I’m Nicholas Cheng, an illustrator from Taiwan with an MA in Illustration from Kingston School of Art. My work is rooted in storytelling — quiet, reflective, and often inspired by the subtle rhythms of everyday life.

I create illustrations that balance emotion and clarity, using soft textures and gentle compositions to evoke mood and narrative. Whether I’m working on children’s books, editorial pieces, branding visuals, or packaging design, I aim to craft images that feel sincere and quietly poetic.

I’m currently open to commissions, licensing, collaborations.
Let’s connect and create something meaningful together.

Taiwanese Oolong

//Package


To let the customer know the taste between different oolong tea, I design the package with the aroma and flavor directly via the illustration, which combines the abstract and the specification.

Moreover, there is the brewing tip to provide the advised approach about how to brew the tea.
