Zhiwen Shao

He/him,
aka. Jason Shao


In this era of fragmentation and reorganization, we cannot avoid change. Every technological advancement brings new challenges, forcing us to re-examine ourselves. Traditional roles are being swiftly eliminated, the old order is crumbling, and the future is filled with unpredictable complexity. In such circumstances, design is no longer merely a decorative element for business but a powerful tool to confront problems and propose solutions.
I wouldn’t embrace 100% commercial service, because great commercial design requires thoughtful meaning; nor do I focus solely on art-driven design, because excellent design needs broader participation, being understood by massive rather than being locked away in an ivory tower.
