About Me
My name is Zipeng Zhu. I grew up in Shenzhen, China, and moved to New York in 2009 to study at the School of Visual Arts. After my BFA in Design in 2013, I joined Sagmeister & Walsh and became a senior designer there.
In 2016 I opened my own studio, Dazzle, in Brooklyn. We work on branding, motion, illustration, print, packaging and spaces, always with strong colour and big, chunky type. I also run Dazzle Supply, a small shop of our own products, and teach in the BFA Design program at SVA.
As a queer Chinese immigrant, I often use my work to speak up for my community.
