Arts Center Residency

Creative Growth Limited's project boasts a lineup of exceptional art mentors, all of whom are participants in this year's Arts Center Residency. These mentors combine top-tier academic credentials, extensive international industry experience, and proven success in guiding students to prestigious art institutions. They hold advanced degrees from renowned global schools such as Kingston University in London (Graphic Design MA), Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and San Francisco Art University. Drawing on their cross-cultural perspectives, they integrate Eastern and Western design philosophies across fields like furniture design, installation art, product development, and luxury brand illustration.

With over eight years of professional experience each, these mentors have collaborated with leading design firms and well-known brands such as Alexander McQueen. They have participated in public art projects and driven commercial product development, blending strong commercial acumen with profound artistic vision. Their pedagogical approach stands out for its ability to effectively mentor students from diverse backgrounds, including beginners and those transitioning between disciplines. This is evidenced by their remarkable success in helping mentees secure admission offers from institutions like the Royal College of Art, London Art University, and Rhode Island School of Design. As participants in the Arts Center Residency, their unique strength lies in their deep understanding of educational differences across global systems. This allows them to deliver highly targeted and inspirational instruction, empowering students to use design as a tool to envision and shape innovative futures.
