  • Biography
    Yunong Xie is a London based illustrator and toy designer, originally from China. She earned her master degree in Illustration and Visual Media from University of the Arts. Yunong’s inspiration for her work lies in her significant interest in mysterious creatures and subjects, which also served as a catalyst for the launch of her own toy brand MINONO in 2019. Yunong is always exploring new tools, techniques and media approaches. Her practice ranges from illustration, animation, poster, books, package design and fashion print design to create an eclectic yet coherent body of work. Yunong has participated in a few international exhibitions such as Hong Kong Contemporary Art Show and London Design Week Exhibition, and has also held several personal exhibitions in Asia. Earlier this year, she has also received the New Talent (Student) Gold Metal from IJUNGLE Illustration Awards.
