Hi there, I am Derek Man Lui. I believe creativity is a spicy stew of your surroundings, your identity, and what’s happening in culture past and present. I am a Hongkongnese-Californian currently learning British at Wieden + Kennedy.
Before London, I was a creative director in Shanghai, where I made hot censored content behind the Great Firewall. I tried to be China’s Banksy once, but prison scares me too much.
Before that, I was in San Francisco, my hometown and birthplace. The city raised me with its intoxicating fog, its super burritos, its wonderfully weird human beings, and of course, this beauty 🌁
