Hi, I'm Jing Zhou, an independent artist and creative director based in Glasgow, with a track record spanning international fine art and commercial fashion. I bridge high-concept artistic expression with robust commercial strategy, weaving repetitive geometric patterns and decorative pearl elements into contemporary art and design. As the founder of Shanghai Doyang Apparel and a former design director for a listed company, I lead end-to-end creative processes—from textile innovation to multi-channel branding—while cultivating cross-cultural exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. I'm fluent in English and Mandarin, and I enjoy collaborating across disciplines to push the boundaries of art and fashion.
