Interview with the 2022 MUSE Creative Awards Winner \u2013 Yidan Xie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your creative background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a designer with over many years of experience who is proficient in visual design, animation, illustration, motion graphics, UI\/UX design, and sound design. I received a bachelor’s degree from the China Academy of Art (Hangzhou, China) and a master’s degree from the Department of Art at Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, Virginia, United States). I focus on combining all of my diverse abilities to achieve innovative and eye-catching results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I was a child, I have had a deep interest in art. I used classic pen and paper instruments at the time. I’ve learnt to use digital media tools and utilize numerous approaches to express my whimsy about the world and my life as a result of continual learning. I can immerse myself in the creative process with tremendous enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment. I intend to pursue a creative path in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am working for Cisco System where I have been employed for about four years. As a Visual Designer, I am primarily responsible for the creation and maintenance of the company’s illustration library, the definition and execution of motion guidelines, and the production of animation explainers that present monthly-released product enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201ccreativity\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that creativity is an extremely valuable skill that can be lost if it is not carefully nurtured. If we lose our creativity, we may have to compete with robots, computers, and artificial intelligence for some opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a \u201ccreative\u201d idea and\/or design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smallest things in life frequently cause my thoughts to wander and form bizarre associations such as how a cup of coffee might cause me to fantasize about chocolate lakes. Myths and stories fascinate me and I have an exceptional passion for mysterious creatures such as many types of dragons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
