Mond Qu is a designer, animator, and digital craftsman who works between disciplines to explore solutions for contemporary issues through design. His projects and experiments upend the status quo, challenge norms, and explore a brighter future. 

Mond is dedicated to building a world and future that we all want to live in and he uses waste, immersive experiences, and the physical world as touchpoints for his work. In our conversation, he unpacks his thoughts on the relationship between art and design, the role of a designer, and how he views the creative process. We chat about a few of his recent works and his current interest in sustainable homes and furniture. 

Mond shares his ideas on how priorities can be mapped out, about the layers that go into good design and the need for a variety of perspectives instead of a uniform solution. Our conversation explores what the future of design looks like and the idea of overlap between the physical and digital worlds that we might witness in our lifetimes. We finish off with some thoughts from Mond on the current state of the world and how he is choosing to react to the coronavirus pandemic.
