the mouse is her sorcerer
Thesis publication, 6 × 8.5 in, 2025the mouse is her sorcerer is a constellation of short stories I wrote as my MFA thesis. In writing them, I deconstructed projects from the past two years into fragments of objects, processes, and memories, and repurposed these fragments as narrative devices and characters. Guided by a narrator who addresses the desire of the main protagonist—the reader, you—to read about the designer’s thesis, the narrative unfolds as characters like the mouse, the snail, and the woman enter, each offering their own stories and glimpses into the evolving thesis. The only moments of truth appear in the image inserts, where the real projects behind the fiction are revealed. The publication is bound by a central ‘portal,’ designed to be read in all four directions—a circular motion.

It Is Quite Nice Here 也是怪好
Publication, 15 × 20 cm, 2022In 2020, my grandparents’ visit from China to our farm in Australia was unexpectedly extended from three months to two years. During this time, shaped by daily farm life, we got to know each other more deeply and gradually grew closer. As their return approached, I created It Is Quite Nice Here, gathering memories and traces of their time on the farm, structured around seeds as a central element of the book.

Fall 2024 Oral Presentation Scripts
Riso-printed publication, 4 × 7 in, 126 pages, 2024A compilation of oral presentation scripts delivered by second-year Graphic Design students in September 2024.

ant bear
Publication, 2.4 × 3.3 in, 2024An anthology that explores the idea of miniature as an alternate universe, interweaving essays on shrunken perspectives and what they signify, with a selection of fairytales featuring miniature figures and settings. In this book, fairytales are treated right-side up, suggesting their truths, while theoretical essays are upside down, requiring flipping and turning to aid reading.
The Egg in The Landscape
Publication, 11 × 14 in, 2023Inspired by André Pieyre de Mandiargues’ short story, from which I also borrowed the title. He explores how a slight imperfection in a windowpane distorts reality into a surreal universe, and vice versa, questioning which is actually real. In response, I photographed my surroundings through a marble, using it to see imaginary worlds which I then drew. Drawings are woven with extracts from the story hidden between the folds.

Eaten type
Variable typeface, 2024An exploration of how type can mimic the way language erodes over time. The typeface is structured around a variable axis of time and is activated by letters received “this year,” “last year,” “three years ago,” and “six years ago.” With each passing year, the text becomes more degraded, until eventually, no message remains. The typeface was developed as an intervention on Helvetica Neue Thin.
