Hello! I’m Minh of Yuien Design.

The face behind it all, I’m an Australian artist and surface pattern designer.

I’ve always enjoyed drawing and art from a young age but fell out of practice for more than 10 years. I picked up watercolour painting, particularly florals, during my years working in Japan from scrolling through social media and discovering the magic of it. Then it just snowballed from there, I started teaching myself how to use gouache, creating digital art and then discovering the wonders of the surface pattern industry. From there, the rest was history. Here I am, pursuing a childhood dream of mine where I can create art as a career.

I’m nervous and excited to see where this journey takes me, here’s to pursuing our dreams and aspirations where ever you are in the world.
