We had the good fortune of connecting with Weiqian Han and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Weiqian, why did you pursue a creative career?
From a young age, I was bursting with ideas and creativity, which I poured into all aspects of my life. When I discovered the world of design, it felt like I had found my true calling. Throughout my four years in college, I was captivated by the power of aesthetics and its impact on everything from art to business. This ignited a fire within me, and I knew that I had to pursue a career in design.
Driven by this passion, I decided to take my skills to the next level by enrolling in a Master’s program in Motion Media Design at Savannah College of Art and Design. This experience has allowed me to explore new frontiers in the design world and to push the boundaries of my creativity. I am constantly on the lookout for new opportunities to expand my skillset and to make a meaningful impact through my art.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
In the beginning, it has not been a smooth road. One of the biggest struggles I faced was feeling behind in my drawing skills compared to my peers. I started learning to draw later than most of them, which made me feel self-conscious and less confident in my abilities. I was feeling alienated from my peers and friends as they were studying business/Internet while I was studying art and design. I felt like I had nothing in common with them and it was hard to relate to them. This caused me to doubt my decision to pursue design.
But in the past few years, I changed my mind and insist. I have a strong understanding of design principles, typography and color theory, and I use that to create unique and valuable designs that effectively communicate my client’s message to their audience. I am passionate about finding creative solutions to design problems and I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in my work.
I am most proud of the fact that I have helped friends around me to solve design and life challenges. I strive to make a positive impact in the world through my art and my activities. I believe that art is a powerful tool that can be used to communicate important messages and evoke emotions in people. Additionally, I enjoy helping others and counseling. I am a good listener and I believe that it is important to take care of our mental and emotional well-being as well as physical. This approach and being a good listener set me apart from others.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I recommend the Horse-drawn carriage Savannah Historic District tours, it will take you through the city’s historic streets and squares while giving you an overview of Savannah’s rich history and architecture. One of the largest historic districts in the country. The district is known for its stunning architecture, featuring a mix of styles including Georgian, Gothic, Federal, and Victorian. The district is home to many historic buildings, museums, and landmarks that tell the story of Savannah’s past. The district is full of unique shops, boutiques, and restaurants that offer a taste of Savannah’s local culture and cuisine.
Also, I recommend High Museum of Art in Midtown Atlanta. They have an impressive collection of art. Also, the museum’s building itself is a work of art. The modernist structure is made of white porcelain tiles and features a distinctive curved roofline. The High Museum of Art is located adjacent to the beautiful Piedmont Park, making it a great destination for a day out in the city.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my parents, who have always been my biggest supporters and encouraged me to pursue my anything. Their unwavering love and support have been crucial in shaping me into the person I am today. Their love and encouragement have fueled my drive to pursue my dream. I cannot express enough gratitude towards my parents, who have always been my pillars of strength, believing in me even when I doubted myself.
