Interactive
Designer & Developer
Selected portfolio, 2016
I'm Du Haihang,
an interactive designer that writes code.
Residing in Shanghai for around 8 years, and ever since the time when my interest in the
digital sphere was piqued, I've possessed a decade of multidisciplinary experience of being
in the role of designer, art director and developer.
Starting off with a focus on graphic design, I followed my passion to enrich my skillsets
and then dabbled into somewhere between web technology, screen art and interface animations
by self-motivated learning. Throughout my career at agencies or as an independent creator, I
wear different hats to bring digital experiences to life across a variety of design
spectrums.
From 2013 to summer 2016, I was a partner and shareholder of an agency called Activation
Nodeplus building up the agency's industry awareness using my personal work. I helped the
agency to grow and played a vital role for the projects I touched upon during that time.
Before the partnership, I had the honor to work at some other agencies where I met quite a
few talented guys for some high-profile brands digital communications.
My agency role was mainly to create innovative experiences, lead the digital art directions,
make conceptual demos, monitor the executions and help the agency to win the pitches.
I'm currently independent, initiating personal projects and keeping an eye on interesting
things.
I value the quality of work most and take pride in my ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Having been dedicated to the work, I was fortunate to receive a number of international
and national accolades, have the privilege to garner the most awards from FWA in China,
and be consecutively named as the Awwwards independent designer and developer of the
year nominee.
My work has been selected in worldwide publications, magazines, design yearbooks, as
well as being featured on international design communities and industry media.
I also take part in judging panels at Awwwards and Webby.
Aside from working hours, I walk my bull dog with my wife every night, take street photos from
time to time, try hard to swim regularly in the weekend, have a crush on the noodle soup &
Japanese food, and I find time to make trips to other cities in the world every year.
