Laola Xu (Morris)

Designer, Translator, and Communicator in South Africa

I am a Communicator.
This role takes several forms in my career:

Visual Communicator: Graphic & Web Designer.
Language Teacher: TESOL English Teacher
Translator: Mandarin - English (中英-英中)
While my work is increasingly based in the digital realm, I still deeply appreciate the natural world and love being outdoors. Form a node in my 关系 (guān xì) network and let's communicate!
