Hi there, I'm

Jingrong Chen

Welcome to my corner! I'm based in Dogpatch, San Francisco, and currently work as a data scientist at Discord. I'm someone who's always chasing a sense of flow—whether that's illustrating on my iPad or drifting underwater while scuba diving. I'm drawn to experiences that feel immersive, a little disorienting, and deeply alive.

Procreate Art

I picked up Procreate in 2020 as a pandemic hobby and quickly fell into the process of experimenting—different styles, different brushes, different ways of seeing. Over time, I found myself drawn to watercolor textures and food-themed illustrations. You can check out some of my doodles here.

Film Shots

Picked up my FUJI X-M5 on a trip to Tokyo. This is a visual diary of moments from Singapore and Japan, chasing color palettes and quiet scenes. Browse the collection here.
