About

Qiudi ("choo • dee") is a North Carolina-based graphic designer/illustrator with a decade of communications and marketing experience. Due to her first name being a challenge to pronounce and spell (the letter “i” immediately following the letter “Q” tends to frighten people, understandably), she operates under “The 180 Studio”.

The moniker comes from the time she did a complete 180° by going from a graduate with a Master’s Degree in Clarinet Performance (LOL, I know) to a graphic design job at a stationery company in Phoenix, run by 3 sisters, whom all eventually got fired. Weird times.
