Anji Liu is a skilled multidisciplinary designer based in New York City. His works range from visual creative direction to interior design, exhibition design, and visual identity, with phenomenal media exposure and popularity. He’s passionate about bringing together elements from my different areas of expertise to create innovative designs and tell meaningful stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m a multi-disciplinary designer based in New York, currently shaping creative solutions at Wieden+Kennedy. My design journey began with a foundation in interior design and architecture, fields where I initially honed my craft. After two years in architecture, I discovered a compelling interest in visual communication design, which led me to pursue further education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hold a BFA in Interior Design and an MFA in Communication Design from Pratt Institute. This diverse educational background has equipped me with a unique blend of skills, allowing me to integrate various design principles to tell engaging stories. My architectural background exposed me to various 3D software, laying a solid foundation for mastering 3D animation and visualization techniques. I am passionate about bringing together elements from my different areas of expertise to create innovative designs and tell meaningful stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It just looked like a lot of fun and I\u2019m happy to report, 30 years later, that it still is a lot of fun solving problems using creativity. All of us who work in this industry should realize how fortunate we are to do what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Madwell is a very unique place. Is it an agency? Yes and No. Yes in the sense that we solve business problems for our clients through creative communication strategies and ideas, but, No, because it\u2019s much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Chris Sojka, our founder, and CCO, put it one time, “Madwell should be full of people who are a cross between Disney Imagineers, AdPersons, Industrial Light and Magic creatives, entrepreneurs, and most importantly, obsessively curious people who keep their inner child alive and well”. (Don\u2019t quote me, it might have not been exactly this, but something close.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I saw this years ago and I think it still holds and stays true regardless of the platform, media, etc. Creativity is connecting two ideas that were not previously related to create a new concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
