Rasato is an illustrator and designer based in Shanghai. He works digitally, but his images carry the warmth and texture of something handmade—each piece shaped by a sensitivity to colour, surface, and the stories that linger beneath the surface.
His ideas often begin with a quiet observation—a glance, a shadow, a pause between words—and grow into something universal. He sees illustration as a conversation between himself and the world, and he invites his audience into that space.
He has collaborated with a range of international publications and platforms, including:
BBC Science Focus, Glug Magazine, The Ascolaner, LA Times, Live Science, Marie Claire, and Medicinal Media.
Whether translating complex editorial ideas or building visual identities, his aim is always the same: to communicate with clarity, feeling, and purpose.
