Master of Design 2026

Graduating Mid-Year Showcase

Zhiming (Jimmy) Hai

I am a designer specializing in digital visual creation, with a strong passion for 3D modeling, CG animation, and AI-generated content (AIGC). My expertise spans graphic design, 3D design, and brand identity design, where I combine creativity, aesthetics, and technology to create work that is both visually compelling and strategically impactful.

Driven by curiosity and a commitment to innovation, I continuously explore emerging technologies and new creative approaches. I strive to push the boundaries between digital art and design, seeking new possibilities that inspire meaningful and engaging visual experiences.

*Empty Boat* is an AI-assisted experimental animated short inspired by Eastern allegories. Through Chinese ink-wash aesthetics, a monochrome visual language, and cinematic storytelling, the film follows a traveler confronting memories and attachments during a mysterious river crossing. The project combines AIGC image generation and AI video production to explore new possibilities for blending traditional cultural narratives with emerging generative technologies.
