About This Blog

Welcome to X-Ray China. A creative look at life in Beijing and what’s happening in the world of design and branding in China.

As an English graphic designer, I have spent half my working life in Europe and half in Asia, which has given me a unique East/West perspective on the world. As an expert in design and branding I have extensive global experience and a deep appreciation for Chinese art and culture.

I hope you find my site interesting, insightful and inspiring, into what is happening in China—the fastest growing brandscape in the world.
