The commemorative ticket this year is designed by local illustrator and registered landscape architect Tin Yan Lee (tinyanillustration). With her warm and cute drawings of a harmonious green landscape, she hopes to encourage the public to enjoy a green low carbon lifestyle with their loved ones and pets. After working in landscape architecture for several years, Tin Yan quit her job to pursue her dream, and has completed her masters in illustration at Kingston University in London. She has since returned to Hong Kong, to build her own brand and teach art.
