Recognition Rising

For Heterodox Academy’s Inquisitive Issue, Xinping illustrated the essay And That’s How I Became a Dime-a-Dozen, transforming graduates into products in a vending machine. Her editorial has since earned a spot on the Communication Arts 2026 Illustration Shortlist and the iJungle Illustration Editorial Merit Award 2025.

With crisp composition, clever visual coding, and a palette that demands attention, Xinping turns a critique of higher education into a playful yet cutting visual statement.
