What was
your best experience and memory of the Academy of Art University?
Drinking an ice tall mocha at Starbucks Coffee shop across from the 79 New Montgomery
building. I also liked watching the black AAU buses run everywhere in the city. It feels like the
whole city of San Francisco is part of the college. You learn things from the large aspect of the
environment, not only from the school.
What is FakeDesign and how was it founded?
In 2000, FakeDesign Studio was set up in London. It promotes creative activities between art
and design. In 2005, FakeDesign moved to Beijing and played hard there.
