Besides design,
I love exploring unknown fields.

Here are my visual arts —
from 2D to 3D & from digital to physical 🧸

Shape Alphabet

Spring 2023 Publication & Visual Coding

Shapes and colors are essential building blocks of design as they play a crucial role in how humans perceive and interpret visual information. Shapes provide a sense of order and structure, and their combination and arrangement can form visually captivating patterns that create a sense of movement, balance, and harmony. Colors, on the other hand, evoke human emotions and set the tone for a design. The addition of colors to shapes enhances the aesthetic appeal, yielding a bold and dynamic visual experience and unique personality.

Besides forming stunning patterns using shapes and colors, I wanted to create something that perfectly blends the structural harmony of geometry with the expressiveness of colors. Having worked with hundreds of fonts, I find almost all of them lacking their own characteristics, so I designed my own “cryptic” font that masks meanings behind visually appealing patterns.

National Aquarium

Fall 2021 Motion Design

Made a one-minute motion inspired from Baltimore National Aquarium.

Memories

Fall 2022 Book Art

This book, Memories, was designed and printed in 2022 at MICA’s Tech Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The typeface used throughout is 10pt Agenda and 23/32 pt Impetus to resonate the whole geometric style. The contents used throughout is from Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman’s Daily Stoic. The book is a collection of all her wonderful memories in the past time by using colorful geometric figures to express her feelings. This book was in an edition of three copies.

Growth

Spring 2021 French Embroidery

I learned French embroidery when I attended the exchange program in Nanjing. The pattern I chose is from the William Morris floral pattern. Some of the plants in the foreground I used French embroidery and the background was painted with textile paint.

The white flowers at the top are based on textile pigments and the floral pattern above is a combination of sequin embroidery.

Love Sick

Fall 2021 Editorial Design

Love Sick is about caring women’s relationship between work and love after covid pandemic. Due to the pandemic, women have always been tied to the “problem“ of single-hood.

The awareness of care gaps experienced by people who are single and who live alone often lives in subtext.
