-- Mr. Xiaoyu Zhang's years-long efforts culminated with recognition at the Red Dot Museum in Germany. A dream for all artists and the highest form of flattery for any designer, the Red Dot Award adds a feather to the cap of designers and brings them the honor of life. For the Chinese product designer, 2023 has ended on an all-time high note as the ArtCenter College of Design graduate who started his journey in 2017 by relocating to continents apart in the city of dreams, Los Angeles, is now among the top product designers in the world.
For the majority, the sky's the limit, but for Mr. Zhang, the word limit does not exist. His interest in product design peaked when he was introduced to the first model of the iPhone. A phone, a product that was not new in the market but stood out for its features, was what motivated the young, creative mind of Mr. Zhang to exercise the talent hidden inside of him. The individual highlights the consistent release of new iPhone models, each one surpassing the previous in terms of advanced features. He takes Apple's example to emphasize that the company's mindset of pushing boundaries and avoiding limitations has been instrumental in its success. Similarly, he takes great pride in his work and thinks the best thing that he gets out of it is that he has the ability, potential and skill to make something that the human mind might never have thought of before.
For the highly professional individual, the work ethic that he brings to the table is the single most distinguishable factor of his brilliance from any other in a similar field. 'As a designer, my primary ambition is to create a significant positive impact on the world. My focus has always been on delivering innovative, elegant, and inclusive designs,' shared Mr. Zhang. Taking up a project that, while also embracing the modernity and technological advancements of the ever-evolving world today, also incorporates the much-needed sustainable development goals that have become indispensable to saving our future. From nature to the lives of people, Mr. Zhang's work speaks of his sheer commitment to the betterment of society on a holistic level.
With many award-winning projects to his name, including Vaso Smart Planting System and PodNest, Mr. Zhang currently works with Aptera Motors Corp. and is particularly relishing his time there. With the increasing cutthroat competition in the automobile sector, Mr. Zhang believes that the American company has the combination of the right team, pedagogy and mindset that will allow him to learn and grow to a level that he has never conceived of before. Being part of the futuristic team that is dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint through the innovative manufacturing of eco-friendly vehicles without compromising on quality, the designer looks forward to an incredible 2024. 'I have the responsibility of designing the digital product experience for Aptera vehicles. Working on this revolutionary vision—harnessing sustainable solar energy for transportation and reducing the carbon footprint for future generations—is nothing short of magical,' added the Red Dot Award winner.
Mr. Zhang's inspiring story serves as a powerful reminder to individuals worldwide to never give up on their dreams, no matter what challenges they may face. Dedication, perseverance, and a strong belief in the recognition of their talent are the key elements that drive his journey. Today, Mr. Xiaoyu Zhang stands out as one of the few designers from Asia to have their work showcased across multiple continents. His work has been showcased at prestigious venues such as the Red Dot Museum in Germany, European Center in Greece and the Shenzhen International Design Fair in China.
