ABOUT

Di Mao is a multidisciplinary designer and mixed-media artist from China, currently based in London, UK. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Brand Design from the joint programme between Beijing Normal University, Zhuhai and Brand University of Applied Sciences (Germany), graduating with distinction. She also holds an MA in Design: Expanded Practice from Goldsmiths, University of London, also graduating with distinction.

Her practice focuses on publication and installation, approaching design as a process of observation, translation, and reflection. She is particularly interested in the often-overlooked relationships within everyday life and the natural world. Working across diverse materials and visual languages, she explores subtle yet meaningful modes of expression.

毛迪是一位来自中国的跨领域设计师、复合媒介艺术家，目前定居于英国伦敦。她毕业于北京师范大学珠海校区与德国 Brand University of Applied Sciences 合作开设的品牌设计项目，获得设计学学士学位，并以优异成绩毕业；随后毕业于伦敦大学金史密斯学院 MA Design: Expanded Practice 专业，并同样以优异成绩获得硕士学位。

她的创作主要聚焦于出版物与装置艺术，将设计视为一种观察、转译与反思的过程。她关注日常生活与自然环境中常被忽视的关系，并通过多样的材料与视觉语言，探索细腻而富有意味的表达方式。
