About JASMINE

Jasmine(Jiayu) Zhu graduated from NYU Shanghai with a B.S in Mathematics and double minors in History and Urban Design and Architecture Studies. She worked in real estate consulting and quantitative hedge funds after graduation. 

She went to UC Berkeley for a Master’s Degree in Architecture. She’s been practicing as an architectural designer in well-known architectural firms in San Francisco and New York City since graduation. She worked as a freelance translator for architectural and art-related context for both social media and onsite exhibitions. As an art enthusiast and designer with a STEAM background, she’s impressed and amazed by the phenomenal graphics and abstract forms generated in the science books and from the construction sites. Her past education experience inspires her curiosity for the unknown and possibilities in art practice. Studying at NYUSH, learning traditional art taught by both American and Chinese professors, with international students as classmates, has become one of the most interesting experiences she has had. Interdisciplinary practice and the collision of Chinese and foreign cultures allow her to construct a measurement of the relationship between traditional art and contemporary art in a relatively less formal and more interactive environment.
