Folio

A collection of smaller projects and design explorations that reflect my creative range and ongoing practice beyond my primary case studies.




    Sky Map
    2025

    A sky map traditionally tracks celestial bodies, helping us make sense of the vast unknown. In this poster, I reimagine the sky map as a visualization of internal, emotional space. Using moon phases to mark time and circular layering to reflect celestial forms, I charted my emotional shifts throughout January 2025. Each dot marks a day of emotional weight, linked to a color that represents how I felt. A blended central circle captures the overall emo- tional density of the month. Behind it, blurred diary entries reflect the haze of memory, with key emotional words left clear, forming a constellation of inner experience rendered in data, light, and memory.




    Scene in Color
    2025

    Scene In Colours is a website that explores the relationship between color and movie poster design. The core objective is to create an interactive interface where users can input two colors, and the website will generate a movie poster dominated by those hues. This project examines how color choices impact visual identity in film marketing, emphasizing the role of signature colors in poster design. Additionally, the page uses AI to generate a movie scene based on a famous line from the film, further enhancing the connection between visual storytelling and film culture.













    Reenvisioning Wong Kar Wai
    2025

    In this project, I explored how Wong Kar Wai uses color and cinematography to tell stories, focusing on his distinctive visual aesthetics. Reenvisioning Wong Kar Wai is a collection of 150 photographs presented as a three-issue publication, with each issue dedicated to one of his iconic films: Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, and In the Mood for Love. Each issue centers around a single color prominently featured in the film and uses that color, along with selected scenes and dialogue, to recreate the visual language of Wong Kar Wai in the form of an editorial book.




    The Riot Grrrl
    2024

    The Manifesto Poster Project was centred on creating a series of posters inspired by the Riot Grrrl Manifesto. The Riot Grrrl was an underground feminist punk movement that emerged in the early 1990s in the United States. The manifesto sought to challenge societal standards imposed on women at the time, proclaiming, “Girls seek to create revolution in everyday lives.” To reflect this bold message, the manifesto and event posters prominently featured a bold pink and black colour palette, symbolizing strength and defiance. The designs emphasized the use of typography, exploring its interplay with colour, shape, and scale. Key elements, such as the words “Standards” and “The Riot Grrrl,” incorporated a glass-breaking effect, visually representing the manifesto’s disruption of conventional norms and ideals about how women should behave in society.




    Pantagonia
    2025

    At Patagonia, everything starts with respect for the planet. Protecting the Earth begins with what we create and how we care for it.

    We repair and resell used gear to keep it in use and out of landfills.
    
We take back worn-out items to recycle them into something new.
    
We design with durability in mind, so products last longer and tread lighter.
    We challenge ourselves and our community to rethink consumption and buy only what’s truly needed.

    Because saving our home planet means changing not just what we make, but how we live.
