After the pandemic in 2020, I noticed a major shift in China's lower-tier consumer market — people were increasingly prioritizing value for money and fast, reliable results. That's when I decided to expand my business to Pinduoduo, where I adapted my service offerings to match what customers on that platform cared about most: high-quality retouching and design at competitive prices, delivered quickly. My efficiency and technical skills turned out to be a perfect fit for the platform. Clients loved that I could turn around polished, professional results in a short timeframe without cutting corners on quality. The response was overwhelming — I quickly built a large and loyal customer base on Pinduoduo, with many shoppers becoming repeat clients and recommending my shop to others. Last year, all that hard work really paid off. My photo retouching service ranked **#1 across the entire platform** in its category, and my poster design service has consistently stayed in the **top 3**. It's been incredibly rewarding to see the business grow so strongly on a second platform, and it's pushed me to keep refining both my craft and my customer service.

Alibaba • Freelance

Jan 2018 - Present • 8 yrs 7 mos

Since 2018, I have been running my own freelance studio on Alibaba's Taobao platform, where I specialize in two core areas: professional photo retouching and poster design. What started as a small venture quickly grew into a trusted service, thanks to my commitment to delivering high-quality results with fast turnaround times — a combination that keeps clients coming back and referring others. On the retouching side, I've worked on everything from daily casual photos and professional headshots to studio portraits, avatar/profile shots, and full wedding albums. Over the years, handling such a high volume and variety of work has sharpened my technical skills tremendously. I know exactly how to bring out the best in each image while keeping the result natural and true to the subject. What I'm most proud of, though, is the trust my clients place in me. Because I listen carefully and communicate clearly — especially on poster projects, where I tailor every design to their vision — I've built a solid reputation on the platform. Word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers have been the biggest reward, and they keep me motivated to keep raising the bar with every project.
