Hey, I’m Xiang Gao—friends call me 'Gao.' I’m a designer, illustrator, and art director based in San Francisco, specializing in branding and campaigns across industries, from lifestyle and fashion to tech and beyond. With over a decade of experience, I believe the best design is clever, simple, and intentional—seamlessly aligning creativity with business goals. And when you sprinkle in a bit of humor? That’s when ideas truly take flight—like adding sriracha to the perfect bowl of ramen.
Btw, 'Xiang' means 'fly,' and 'Gao' means 'high.' My name means 'fly high,' in Chinese and the deeper meaning is that I can go wherever I want.
