Welcome to 1993 Design Associates, where storytelling meets innovation. By combining our expertise in traditional art and design, we bring a distinct, flavour-packed punch to the creative industry.

Founded by Kun and Yao, a dynamic duo hailing from South China, 1993 specialises in crafting interactive digital experiences for businesses looking to elevate their brands.

Our story begins in high school, where we bonded over our mutual love of art, sketchbooks and oil pastels. We've honed our skills over the years to create interactive experiences that captivate audiences worldwide.

In 2024, we decided to take a leap of faith and bridge the gap between our physical locations, Switzerland and New Zealand, starting our own design and innovation studio, 1993 Design Associates.

If you’re seeking a bespoke design experience that leaves a lasting impression, 1993 is your destination.

As an interaction designer, I am passionate about how people as complex organisms interact with every element of their surroundings naturally, as well as exploring the better possibilities of human-machine relationships.

‍

I am committed to incorporating historical, political, and social factors into my designs. How can we break out of the existing frameworks and the boundaries of interaction design in order to reveal the complicated and intertwined reality? This is an area that I am intrigued by and strive to contribute to.

Kunyang Ji

I'm a Creative Developer who’s all about web motion and interaction. I’m based in Wellington, NZ, soaking up the laid-back vibe here. Over the years, I’ve not just learned how to build websites but I’ve also gotten great at making them into cool, immersive storytelling experiences. What I really love is taking simple, regular websites and turning them into amazing journeys.

‍

At heart, I am an artist. My canvas reflects the emotions captured in life's fleeting moments.

‍

Feelings matter.
