Jessica Zhengjia Hu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her early years, Jessica Zhengjia Hu’s parents introduced her to art through frequent visits to exhibitions. At age 7, she joined her elementary school’s art group, where her first teacher prepared them for competitions, marking her entry into the art world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview with the 2023 MUSE Design Awards Winner – Jessica Zhengjia Hu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When I was younger, my parents took me to lots of art events and exhibitions to nurture my love for art. At just 7 years old, I joined my elementary school’s art group, where my first teacher trained us for art competitions. That’s when I first stepped into the art world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dream was always to work in the creative industry but I ultimately chose business and economics as my college majors because I believed being a designer required not only creativity but also critical thinking and a good grasp of market trends. After getting my economics degree from the University of Michigan, I pursued design at Parsons in New York, where I truly learned how to think and work as a designer, marking the real start of my design career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Since I was a child, my aspiration has always been to pursue a career in the creative industry. To me, art and design hold immense significance in my life. Art serves as a means through which I can perceive, experience, and communicate with the world, while design acts as a tool for exploring potential future possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I firmly believe that design is a form of empowerment that enables us to address various challenges, ultimately enhancing the quality, functionality, and overall well-being of our lives. I’ve always sought a path that would consistently ignite my passion and drive, and I’m immensely grateful that I’ve chosen a career in a field that I am genuinely passionate about.<\/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

No. 72 Design Studio, based in Shenzhen, China, is an independent creative hub. We specialize in various design services like graphic design, product design, packaging design, layout design, and even offer design-related consultations. Our mission is all about using different design approaches and staying updated with market trends to provide solutions that enhance people’s lives and make them happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the Monkey King, a powerful figure from Chinese mythology capable of 72 transformations, we believe that the intelligence, creativity, and untapped potential of humans, when channeled through design, can be even more remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see design as a bridge that links art with our everyday existence. It enhances our quality of life and joy by turning fantastic concepts and dreams into tangible realities. By harnessing the wisdom and expertise of the past along with the abilities and knowledge we have today, we can uncover even more of the beauty and boundless potential that our world holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What\u2019s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy engaging in product, graphic, and apparel design, all of which have strong ties to our daily lives. Additionally, I continually seek to expand my skills and tackle new design realms, particularly those driven by emerging technologies. I have a passion for taking on diverse and stimulating projects, and I firmly believe that various design categories share interconnected elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to advancing technology, we now have the ability to create items that serve multiple purposes and adapt to various situations, enhancing their usefulness and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
