Creating interactive experiences at the intersection of art, technology and storytelling.
A littleabout me.
I'm Jiantao (Zestan) Wu, a digital media artist and game designer based in London. I create interactive experiences, real-time 3D worlds and visual narratives that bring ideas to life.
My practice moves between game design, interactive installations and digital heritage, combining creative exploration with technical problem-solving.

My Life
Outside the studio, I lift weights, play games and make music. I move between different game worlds, with a soft spot for Counter-Strike 2, the challenge of Soulslikes and the competition of League of Legends. Music is another way I express myself. I conduct a Chinese folk orchestra, play melodic guitar in a band and tinker with synthesizers to see what new sounds I can find.
