Ting An Lin

With over six years of experience in the fashion industry, I am confident in my ability to excel as Art Director/Photographer . My strong background in art direction, photography, and magazine editing experience, along with my Master's degree in Polimoda, Fashion Art Direction, has equipped me with the necessary skills with both fundamental knowledge and massive practical experiences to associate creative teams and execute successful campaigns. On top of that, with one year of experience living in Florence, my aesthetic expanded on top of the Asian culture I am familiar with.

Driven by being eager in a more fast-paced environment, I obtained my visa to move to London. My passion for creativity and commitment to delivering outstanding results make me always ready for fast-pace fashion industry.
