NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2019 / Yunna Qiu is a designer and an art director.Currently, she works at R/GA New York as an Associate Creative Director. She spent more than ten years working in international ad agencies and design firms. Last year, Smasung US launched the award-wining project, "/make" series. make is a new series for creators, by creators.

As more and more photographers and filmmakers embrace their mobile phone as their main tool for creation, Samsung wanted a way to support their work, teach them new skills, and connect them with other artists.Each episode of /make features one of today's most influential creators – Emmy-nominee Issa Rae, Nat. Geo. photographer Corey Richards, vlogger/comedian Anna Akana, photographer/producer Connor Franta – and pairs them with an up-and-comer, documenting their creative process as they make something entirely with their Galaxy. Talking about the working process, Yunna Qiu said, "We had a big team worked on the project for a year and half, the working process is very collaborative. "

"We started looking for a new way to connect with Gen Z. YouTube was an obvious place to start, but we needed to create real value and earn their attention. That's when we uncovered something. Gen Z doesn't just follow YouTube creators, they want to become them. We needed a unique way to show this audience that Galaxy smartphones are ideal for creating the content they want to make, especially through the lens of a category-leading camera. This insight led to our big idea: A new community platform from Samsung that gives the next generation of creators the tools they need to /make it."
