05 – Zipeng Zhu

Self-described “creative octopus” Zipeng Zhu established his NYC career with an explicit poster campaign that caught the eye of award winning creative director Jessica Walsh. His colorful, bold, often playfully sexual design work has been commissioned by major international brands – but he can’t always talk about it. In this episode we explore how corporate NDAs play a role in both protecting and silencing creativity and Zipeng shares a personal view on silences in his own life as the gay son of traditional Chinese parents.
