Today we’d like to introduce you to Wenjia Zong and Man Xu.

Has it been a smooth road?
Starting something your own is never easy. It is like fighting with yourself every day. There is no clock in/out but the game rule you set for yourself to play.

My partner and I started with one app design project. We both share our feeling and struggles along the way. It is a combination of financial need, goal setting, and motivation. When business is slow, the motivation is low; as a result, the goal setting is scary. We thought we loved being creative and by starting our own company, we can be our own boss and just focus on design. However, the real story is, we have to deal with tax, payment, customer services, sales, legal, etc….. Things we never enjoyed.

Indeed, I never enjoyed doing bookkeeping nor filing tax, but I loved to have my own time and focus. I enjoy being able to tell others what I do and love sharing our projects. I love our clients and referrals. Because of their trust, we never thought about quitting. We kept it, tried our best with many sleepless nights and cash shortage. Then, one day, things started to click. We started to see the requests of quote and conversion. The struggle is real, but the reward is amazing.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the LIMVI Studio story. Tell us more about the business.
We design, from the logo, business card, website, to mobile applications. We believe in less is more and simple is the ultimate sophisticate. We are known for our consistent communication and the ability to deliver the result. There are days we stayed until 4 am to finish urgent projects, and there are days we hopped from event to event trying to make a contact. We are proud of our trust between my partner and me, and we are proud of our successful clients who made to another level with our designs and branding vision.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
As the AI technology growing, there will be fewer technique designers and more creative artists who come up with visions. Execute design is the easier part, come up with the direction is the challenge. The pressure from spending time on thinking is tremendous. You feel like you are not doing anything and you don’t know what direction to go is a terrible feeling. This is something computer cannot solve. Ideally, if the technical part will be handled by computers in the future, designers will be released from this pressure and focus on the art/creative direction.
