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

My name is Yuqun Huang, a Chinese-born motion designer based in LA. After graduating with an MFA in Motion Media Design from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), I began my career as a designer at Brand New School LA, where I contributed to projects for Google, Slack, and Adobe. In 2022, I joined yU+co as a designer, focusing on title sequences for prominent Hollywood films and TV shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ever since I was a child, I have had a strong desire to become an artist. I fondly recall those precious moments spent beside my grandfather’s desk, eagerly peering over as he sketched, and finding inspiration to craft little poems from my interpretations. He would proudly display my poems alongside his artwork, fostering my budding creativity. As I matured, an exciting opportunity presented itself during my senior year of college: the opportunity to study abroad. There, I had the freedom to choose courses consistent with my passions. It was during this time that I was introduced to motion design for the first time, and I was immediately captivated by the unparalleled freedom it offers artists.<\/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

I’m a designer at yU+co, the world’s leading design firm based in Hollywood. I have worked mainly on end-to-end for “The Little Mermaid”, “Candy Cane Lane”, “Billy the Kid”, “Starwar: Ahsoka”, “The Monkey King”, Cadillac user manual video packages, Prologis AI conference, etc. In my spare time, I did some personal motion graphics projects. “Mantras of Burning Man: A Meditative Journey (Burning Man Promo)” won the prestigious platinum award at the AVA Design Awards and will be featured in the Creative Quarterly 74 online gallery. Slashie won gold at the 2024 Muse Creative Awards and three other international awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Observing everyday life, capturing something, reflecting on it, and creating artwork that resonates with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

To me, a ‘creative’ idea or design emerges from real-life experiences but is metaphorically reimagined by the artist, subtly conveying situations that merit thoughtful consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In the realm of the Slashie, every hour is an opportunity to master a new skill, explore uncharted territories, and cultivate a life rich in color. It’s about not just \u2026
