About

I’m Wenwen Zhu, a multimedia designer and video producer/editor based in Chicago, where I help brands come to life through cohesive visual identities and multi-channel storytelling. With 8+ years of experience across hospitality, real estate, and small businesses, I translate business goals into brand systems and campaigns—spanning video, motion graphics, print collateral, social assets, and branded merchandise.

I lead creative teams and manage projects from concept to final delivery, staying focused on quality control and brand consistency at every stage. I’ve directed and produced a 12-minute 3D animated film, and my promotional work has been recognized through official selections from Annecy and Animafest Zagreb in 2025, along with multiple design award honors for brand identity, print collateral, and branded graphics suites.
