Here is a little story about my name and my icon :]
        
 “This is the third time I gave you a ride. Have a very sweet
        evening,” the Uber driver said. 
 As I said the usual “thank
        you” and got ready to exit the car, I paused in surprise and asked why
        he remembered me. 
 He said that my name had an interesting
        spelling and a beautiful pronunciation. 
 “It sounds similar
        to the word meaning ‘sunflower’ in my language back home.” 
 I
        did ask where he was from, but I don’t seem to have remembered it.
        
 So I opened Google translate, typed “sunflower,” went
        through all the possible equivalents in different languages that I could
        find, and let the browser pronounce each one of them.
        
 Nothing sounded similar. 
 Perhaps I remembered it
        wrong, or perhaps the driver didn’t really mean “sunflower,” or perhaps
        he was just joking, but I have started to relate my name to “sunflower”
        somehow.

        Mengjie is a graphic designer, web designer & developer, UI/UX designer
        (and artist?) currently based in New Haven and New York.
        
 She studied Japanese in college, and got her MFA degree in
        Graphic Design at Yale School of Art in 2022. 
 During her
        study, people have described her work as “beautiful”, “full of heart”,
        “quiet but expressive”, “subtle and very precise”, “great sensitivity to
        materials & form”, “great attention to craft...” 
 And she
        once described her work as: 
 “It is never invasive, or angry,
        or heavy. It is like a bubble floating in the sky, like dust accumulated
        in the corner; perhaps sometimes it is more like a wisdom-tooth hole, a
        slight papercut; and sometimes it feels like a feather brushing the
        cheek, sounds like a whisper, smells like grass after the rain.”
