Qichao An, an internationally acclaimed multi-disciplinary designer, has recently been invited to join the judging committee of the Wonder Global Design Awards, a prestigious international competition renowned for honoring outstanding innovations in global visual and product design. Concurrently, An has been awarded the New York Product Design Award for his unique creative concepts and execution, reaffirming his status in the international design community.

Qichao An has always adhered to the philosophy that "design serves as a bridge connecting emotion and system, culture and function." With over a decade of creative and leadership experience, he has been actively engaged in brand visual design and product design. His appointment as an international judge for the Wonder Global Design Awards not only acknowledges his professional achievements but also signifies the global value of his design perspectives.



"Participating as a judge in such a global creative gathering is both a rare honor and a significant responsibility," he stated. "I have always believed that design is more than visual expression—it is a means to tell stories, solve problems, and cross boundaries."

His recent work that won the New York Product Design Award embodies his consistent creative pursuit: balancing humanistic emotion and sustainable concepts while emphasizing the simplicity of visual language and cultural depth. Blending Oriental minimalist spirit with Western modernism, his design philosophy excels in triggering emotional resonance through visual narratives. As he shared in a previous interview, "I hope my works can not only be seen but also felt."



Qichao An has thus far won nearly 100 international design awards across diverse fields including brand visual design, packaging, and product design, including the A’ Design Award (Italy), IDA International Design Award (USA), Graphis Design Award of the Year (USA), and the Platinum Prize of the Muse Creative Design Awards. Focused on visual design, he specializes in integrating cultural narratives with design systems, infusing projects with vitality through his unique visual language.

His works skillfully combine traditional Chinese elements with international contemporary styles, having been featured in numerous global design exhibitions and publishing platforms. He has emphasized in multiple interviews: "Designers should not only focus on formal aesthetics but also on connection, empathy, and meaning- building."
