Andy Lu

Growing up, I was always the “oddball” among my peers. So I turned to the world of art. It became my way of communicating, transforming me from a shy and quiet person to a fearless designer. I am a hopeless romantic and a fan of art history, folktales, and fashion. My aesthetic as a designer comes from being a collector and storyteller; I collect elements from different creative fields and mix them to create new stories. Where some see a work of art as a product, I see a relationship, a movement and display of meaning through beauty and the revelation of new perspectives. Ingenuity and innovation are the pillars of all my works. If you seek apologies for strong feelings that are evoked from art, you must look elsewhere, for my calling is to challenge and to provoke in ways that others might not dare. I am a designer that creates work to inspire and evoke.
