Filip Xu


The Practice of Filip Xu, an Art Director based in Stockholm, Sweden

Growing up in a restaurant as a child to immigrant parents and a younger brother with disabilities, I was always trying to do what i could, 
plan doctor visits, and fight the telemarketer. I was the bridge between my household and an unfamiliar society from a young age. 
I developed the patience of an observer, and the empathy of a designer to move and mitigate between the needs and wants of both sides. 
I learned to understand the language of expression from drastically different points of views.
I developed my own rhythm of understanding and interpreting the common emotions that we share, and the vastly different ways that they are expressed.
As an Art Director I balance my voice in the forms of interactive design, innovation, conceptual ideas, writing, visual imagery, and spatial experience to craft stories of endearing similarities and benevolent differences.
