ZHANG JIPING (she/her)

I graduated from the School of Journalism of Fudan University and am currently studying for a master’s degree in interior design at the Glasgow School of Art. I hope to work as an interior designer in the future. I pay attention to the feasibility, innovation, logic and aesthetics of projects. An inter-professional background enables me to properly apply multidisciplinary knowledge in project design. The communication and marketing background makes me particularly interested in the information transfer properties of space. I believe that space can be a medium, and designers need to learn how to encode and predict how users will decode the design language to effectively and accurately transfer information through space.
