Xuan Cui earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design in 2023. With a multicultural background and belonging to a Chinese minority group, she cultivated an open-minded approach through studies in arts and science across global cities like Beijing, Yanji, Seoul, London, and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design, graduating in 2023. My upbringing within a multicultural background, belonging to a Chinese minority group, exposed me to diverse perspectives. Having studied both arts and science in various cities and abroad\u2014including Beijing, Yanji (China), Seoul, London, and New York\u2014I cultivated an open-minded approach and developed an appreciation for diverse ideas and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These experiences have led me to refine my unique style, creating a visually engaging and laid-back aesthetic.<\/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

Surprisingly, I only became interested in a creative career after finishing a semester of economics in 2017. Before that, I was on a typical path in my hometown, working hard and doing well in exams to pursue majors in science or the humanities, like literature and history, at university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art was never on my radar. Studying it meant taking specific drawing and painting classes with exams to test your skills. Since I was focused on science and doing well academically, spending time on art studies seemed impractical, let alone considering a career in the arts.<\/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

My goal is to craft a playful and vibrant world through my designs. I anticipate further developing creations that exude a gentle and inviting essence, with the intention of brightening the spirits of those who come across my work. This idea is central to the conception and existence of my designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It involves welcoming freedom and delving into limitless opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In a nutshell, my preference is for vibrant designs. I have a deep appreciation for colors and their ability to evoke diverse emotions. For instance, the turquoise, violet, coral, mint, and light pink hues in my collection impart a sense of freshness and tranquility, coupled with a hint of excitement from the unknown. I find joy in observing how different colors interact. In my perspective, the combination of color, form, texture, and details contributes to an overall aesthetic, and, for me, color stands out as the most crucial element when evaluating designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q6. To you, what makes a \u201cgood\u201d design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe a successful design is one that leaves a strong impression and prompts viewers to contemplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
