About Lu

I am a multidisciplinary creative professional with over 10 years of experience in directing, motion design, and video production for global brands, NGOs, and cultural institutions. My work bridges storytelling and design, blending emotional resonance with strategic impact.

From international political forums (World Economic Forum, Munich Security Conference, YES) to global brands (Maybelline, L’Oréal, Polar), I have led full-cycle productions — from concept and directing to editing, animation, and post-production.

Recognized for high-speed, high-quality delivery, I often act as a full-stack creative — director, motion designer, editor, and DoP — raising the creative bar and driving long-term client partnerships.

I thrive in fast-paced, cross-cultural environments, leading teams, mentoring junior talent, and crafting video campaigns that engage audiences, strengthen brand presence, and inspire action.
