Feng Zhu has worked on some of the greatest films and games ever produced – Star Wars, and Command and Conquer – and created some of the world’s best-loved characters in Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
He has taught in two world-renowned design schools – Art Center College of Design and Gnomon – and is ranked among the likes of Chris Bangle, ex-Chief of Design for BMW, and Stefano Marzano, Chief Creative Director of Philips.
Given his prolific portfolio and extraordinary talent, he could choose to concentrate on developing more blockbuster productions.
Yet he chose to set up a design school - not for practicing professionals, but for early learners. Not in a city with a long art history, but in Singapore with a fledging production industry.
