Project
Impression of Traveling
Exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan (2015)
I love to travel. During I live in the UK, I visited 15 cities and counties. While I regard London as my second home, I gradually forgot every feeling when I was traveling. Therefore, I started to travel to other European countries. I like to record any amazing things I meet and the culture I learn from my journey.
The Time without Plastic
Branding & Postcard Design
This project will present the old packages of daily use and food with their histories by postcard gift book. In order to remind people how people lived in the past without plastic things. Furthermore, this is a warming interaction. By sending postcard, it encouraged people finding their own memories of the package in their mind.
Dyslexia:
The Special
20%
Infographic Zine
Dyslexia has defined that people struggle with reading. It is a common problem. However, people usually misunderstand the dyslexics or maybe you are one of the dyslexics, but you never noticed. I hope these two zines can help people use the easy way to conscious and concern this issue. Moreover, to resonate those people who struggle with reading.
Self-Published Illustration Book
Hakka is the one of the ethnic groups in Taiwan. The traditional type of Hakka house - 夥房(Huo Fang) deeply effect their lifestyle. The story of this illustration book used my memory on the day of the Chinese New Year in my childhood as the background. It described the traditional Hakka people's life.
John Lewis Window Display
Window Display & Branding
This is the project attended D&AD competition in 2016. The brief was given by John Lewis (UK). This is the idea for the window display design in autumn. The concept is that you can feel that home can be like outdoor. In contrast, outdoor also can let you feel like home. It depends on how you define your home.
