Zhuzhu Xie is a graduate with a background in graphic design and civil engineering. Her work embodies a fusion of these disciplines, offering an interdisciplinary perspective on art and design. 

She reflects on the ramifications of global capitalism, imagining both utopian and dystopian future worlds. She adopts spatial narratives and world-building, seen through a 'more than human' lens, and uses film and installation to challenge norms and expand the boundaries of art and technology, sparking conversations about the complexities of our globalised world.

Throughout three years of study in the Performance Design major, the distinct disciplines of Sound, Light, the Figure and Space in Performance are examined in detail through separate core subjects.

The culmination of this program is the capstone subject Performance Design Studio, in which students combine these scenographic elements holistically in response to a play text. These capstone projects demonstrate their ability to utilise design as a dramaturgical tool, with these skills being both valuable and transferrable across the wide variety of design disciplines that students will pursue upon completion.

The graphic design major provides students with practical and conceptual skills to undertake professional graphic design work.

Graphic designers work within print and digital based mediums to present information in ways that are both memorable and accessible. They are visual communicators—assembling illustrations, typography, images and motion graphics to create a piece of design.
