* about me
Hi! I’m Yixin Shen — a documentary director and motion designer based in Shanghai.
👋嗨！我是沈怡欣——一名🎬纪录片导演和🕹️动态设计师，目前在上海工作和生活。
I originally studied Interaction Design at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but it was during an exchange semester at Columbia University that I stumbled upon experimental video. That unexpected discovery pulled me into the world of filmmaking, and I’ve been exploring it ever since.
我原本在华中科技大学学习交互设计，大四时前往哥伦比亚大学交换，在那里我第一次接触到了实验视频，由此开始对「影像」产生了强烈的兴趣。
Over the years, I’ve worked across all kinds of formats — from documentaries and motion pieces to experimental shorts and commercial projects. I use digital media as a tool to explore and express the values I stand for, aiming to create work that resonates both conceptually and visually.
毕业后，我开始探索不同类型的影像创作，包括纪录片、动态影像、实验短片和商业广告等等。我希望通过数字媒介传达自己所认同的价值观，创作出内容表达与视觉美感兼具的作品。
Outside of work, I enjoy doodling little moments from daily life. It helps me slow down, observe more, and often spark unexpected ideas that find their way into my work.
工作之外，我喜欢通过🎨画画来记录我的生活，它不仅是我放松的方式，也常常为创作带来意想不到的🍄灵感。
