WSDG Adds Mills Xu to China Representative Team
BEIJING, CHINA, November 7, 2022 – Global acoustic architectural consulting and media systems integration firm WSDG (Walters-Storyk Design Group) have announced the appointment of Mills Xu to its expanding China representative team. The announcement reflects the firm’s mounting role in China across an increasingly diverse array of sophisticated architectural/acoustic projects. Xu will be joining longtime WSDG China Representative Victor Cañellas in the role of spearheading new projects in one of the world’s fastest growing markets for recording studios and audio production facilities.
“We recognize the value of knowledgeable, local representatives able to bring our skills to the attention of an even more diverse client base,” said WSDG COO Joshua Morris. “Our relationship with Mills made him an obvious choice for this position.”
In addition to co-founding 55TEC in 2017 – the first Chinese studio to be nominated for a NAMM TEC Award for creative studio design – Xu has built an impressive portfolio of branding and communications projects in China’s professional audio industry. “There’s been a rising awareness and appreciation for professional acoustic consultation and facility design within the Chinese market that reflects the rapidly expanding market there,” said WSDG Director of Business Development Sergio Molho.
“A major factor in the success of these projects has been developing an aesthetic and vibe sensibility that appeals to the Chinese pro audio industry,” added WDSG Art Director Silvia Molho.“Mills Xu’s wealth of experience in the field of professional architectural acoustics and electrical acoustic systems make him a valuable asset to our global team.”
