FCG: How are you and your label doing at the moment?
William Fan: My team and I are doing well. We've set up shop at home and are connected through the digital world. But I miss the direct contact – this is a learning process that's showing me how much I enjoy working with people.
FCG: How do you currently perceive the world?
William Fan: The news is our window to the outside world, and it's fascinating to observe how different cultures and countries react in times like these. It's an incredible situation in which everyone is equally vulnerable—regardless of where you come from, your gender, or your social status. I feel very privileged to be in Germany. At the same time, this is a huge opportunity for reflection: What is important, and what do I want to stand for? It gives me, and society as a whole, the space to reconsider our own thoughts and priorities.
FCG: What conclusion does this lead you to?
William Fan: I've always given myself time and space to let projects mature. Now that time is, so to speak, "given" to me, I realize even more strongly that one should take even more of it. Good ideas and designs need time to grow. Time is precious and should be used consciously and carefully .
FCG: Do you have a wish for the time after Corona?
William Fan: I would hope that the awareness of humanity that is currently being discussed and practiced in a society will continue beyond the crisis.
