Interview:


Why did you choose to enter this work?
This project is one of my first motion design animation that I've created. It is a meaningful piece for myself because this project represents my transition to motion design from surface design.

What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
My favorite thing about this project is that I get to combine surface design with motion design by animating my illustrations for a silk scarf collection.

What excites you most about being shortlisted?
The thing that excites me the most is that I get to meet and appreciates the works from the most talented artists around the world!

Where do you usually work?
I usually work at home with my iMac and Wacom tablet for creating my illustrations and motion works.

How long did it take to complete your project?
For this project, I combined the works I created in two different classes. It took me 7 weeks to ideate and create the illustration and 5 weeks to animate them.

What is your dream commission?
My dream commission will be designing silk scarves for Hermès.

What’s your favourite thing to draw?
I love drawing flowers and botanical elements. It always make me happy when I see flowers!

What is your best tip for other illustrators?
Always go out in the nature and look for inspirations!

What are your plans for the future?
I'll be graduating from ArtCenter College of Design in December 2022. I'm planning to work as a freelance illustrator and motion designer after graduation.
