ARTIST & GRAPHIC DESIGNER

YOU ARE THE ARTWORK

By merging my artistic emotions with my designer’s mindset, i found a unique way to share my stories through this new medium.

Departing from conventional canvases,I delved into communication via graphic tees. By blending literature, typography, and digital art, i curated a series of graphic tees that echo the messages encapsulated in my paintings.

A STORY, A MESSAGE AND COUNTLESS THOUGHTS

I created a book presenting the stories behind my sculptural paintings through graphic design. To complement it, I designed and painted a jean jacket, treating it as a canvas and incorporating elements from ten different paintings. This project was completed at Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles.

I designed this app for expats in the Netherlands. Utilizing reward systems, route recommendations, and user connections, the app motivates expats to go outdoors, socialize, and stay active. (2020)

I WAS ASSIGNED COORDINATES THAT DIRECTED ME TO FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN.

Virtually drifting through Fukushima made me realize how appealing Japanese characters are to me. My fascination with the Japanese characters on billboards and street signs eventually led me all the way to Tokyo.
