In this primary color-infused installment of Work With, a film series from Working Not Working that introduces you to the creatives behind the work, Zipeng Zhu takes us on a tour of his everyday “razzle-dazzle musical.”

“I applied to a full-time role at Nike and within a day I heard back about a job in New York...And just like that, I kicked off a very streamlined and informal conversation with a team at Nike about what they are looking for and how I could help. With the help of WNW’s platform, the interview process was casual and clear, breaking down the formality of job-seeking and interviewing.”

WNW X PRINT ALL OVER ME: EVENT RECAP
WNW X PRINT ALL OVER ME:
EVENT RECAP
In our first collaboration with Print All Over Me, we gave eight supremely talented WNW members a blue sky brief to design their own fabric for PAOM’s assorted silhouettes. We were seriously impressed by the results, and by the PAOM final product. The print quality they achieved is amazing. We threw a party on November 12th to celebrate the collaboration and display the collection. WNW Member #2851 Shawna X (one of the featured eight) also designed a window cling to bring that extra bit of production value to the event: "Inspired by movement and form from passive and static design, I wanted to create something that warped our visual perspective as if it were flowing, at the same time revealing slices of the interior." Check out Facebook for the complete photo album. All photos by WNW Member #5727 Jeff Hodsdon unless otherwise noted.
About our sponsors:
Rivington Design House played host to the collection, allowing us to transform their walls and windows. RDH is a design studio and gallery, specializing in all things creative from art direction and production, to installations and website development.
Glassrox, a band of bartenders, created a speciality cocktail menu for us. Their mission is to never have a boring bar and our guests can attest that did not happen.
Parce Rum, a recently launched brand, has rum that tastes as good as their branding looks. We'll have an upcoming article on them to learn more about how they got started and how the Toms business model inspired them.
What creative event is complete without Pabst Blue Ribbon? Big thank you to PBR for being the beer of the evening and for lubricating the creative process for so many years.
KNAM Media brought Shawna's design to life with vinyl wrap, capturing the details of all the curves and gradients (apparently that shit is not easy to print.) It takes a lot to stop a New Yorker on the street but we're happy to report that this storefront did just that.
