Hi! I’m Yundi Zhou, a passionate designer with a focus on graphic design and textile innovation. I have a strong ability to learn independently, having mastered sewing through self-teaching, which has shaped my approach to combining materials in unconventional ways.
Understanding materials and structure is at the core of my design approach.
My work balances functionality and aesthetics, using sustainable materials to create versatile, space-saving designs.
In my free time, I enjoy experimenting with textiles and folding techniques, always exploring new ways to meet the needs of modern living spaces. I’m excited to take on new challenges and collaborate with creative minds.

Beneath Perception
The Silent Dialogue of Material Stories.
How can an understanding of the intrinsic characteristics and plasticity of textile materials inform the design of furniture objects?
02
Distorted Vessel
This work is a manifestation of contradictions inherent in everyday contemporary living. Plaster and hessian fabric form the basic materials, while timber serves as the casting framework providing a sturdy foundation. We came across this final object based on exploration and experimentation with materials throughout the semester. By gaining knowledge of the contrasts and differences between materials, it sparked a rethinking of everyday items in our lives.
03
Revolutionary Threads
The project combines modular design, circular fashion, and Industry 4.0 technologies, aiming to provide a sustainable solution for the fashion industry. By designing detachable and reusable accessories for the classic little black dress, the project adds diverse functionality and extends the garment's lifespan. Through these modular accessories, users can mix and match according to different occasions, reducing the need for new garments and thus minimizing waste.
During the design process, the project relies on the concept of Industry 4.0, utilizing laser-cutting technology to cut patterns for the garments, providing high-precision templates for subsequent production. However, since the school does not allow direct fabric cutting, the use of laser cutting is limited to pattern making. Despite this, the project still fully leverages digital design tools and advanced manufacturing processes to enhance design and production efficiency.
By incorporating sustainable materials and designing modular accessories, *Revolutionary Threads* not only demonstrates innovation in aesthetics but also prioritizes environmental functionality, offering strong support for sustainable development within the fashion industry.

Furry Friends, Endless Joy
AnnCat is a brand visual system I designed for a friend, combining the functions of a cat cafe and a coffee shop. It aims to provide a comfortable and healing space for cat lovers and coffee enthusiasts.

The brand name is derived from my English name “Ann” and “Cat,” symbolizing warmth and companionship.

Drawings
In my drawing collection, I showcase a diverse range of artistic techniques and styles. From traditional pencil sketches to dynamic anime characters and fashion illustrations, I have developed a strong foundation in drawing and illustration. My work predominantly focuses on black-and-white media, with an emphasis on precision and expression through detailed sketches. Alongside this, I have also explored colored illustrations, allowing me to bring vibrancy and depth to my compositions. Whether it's capturing architectural forms, rendering lifelike portraits, or creating intricate fashion sketches, my artistic practice reflects versatility and a passion for visual storytelling.
