My work is rooted in visual connection, flexibility, and storytelling, with a focus on creating meaningful, personal, and queer-centered projects. I believe design is most powerful when it fosters connection—whether through bold narratives, dynamic compositions, or thoughtful branding.
Project
What do you think of us? A Senior Thesis
Year
February 2025
What do you think of us: Volume 1 is a senior thesis publication and campaign exploring the impact of the model minority myth on Asian Americans. Through personal narratives, research, and design, it challenges stereotypes and reclaims identity. This project showcases my creative direction—not only through the publication itself but also through clothing, collaboration, and art that directly contradicts the myth. Volume 1 is deeply personal—a reflection of identity and resistance.
Project
Ballroom Subculture Book
Year
October 2024
This 100-page book is an exploration of ballroom culture—its history, resilience, and impact on queer identity and expression. Through a fusion of design, community, photography, and illustration, I honor the artistry, defiance, and community at the heart of the ballroom scene. Designed with a flexible grid and expressive visuals, this book is both an archive and a love letter to a culture that continues to inspire and empower.
Project
Pluto - EP
Year
February 2024
Pluto is a sonic reflection of youth and love—blending indie pop sensibilities with personal storytelling. Written and produced under Steel Nico, this EP captures the emotions, uncertainties, and nostalgia of young life, shaping a sound that feels both familiar and deeply personal. Shot by Maxine Eve, the visual language embraces dream and change, allowing both of these elements to intertwine with each other.
Project
No-No Beer
Year
January 2023
No-No Beer is a conceptual non-alcoholic beer brand created in collaboration with Orion Cortez and Sophie Wintersgill. Designed to challenge expectations, the brand blends bold visuals, playful yet refined typography, and a modern aesthetic that stands out in the market. From packaging to promotional materials, every element reinforces the idea that saying ‘no’ to alcohol doesn’t mean saying ‘no’ to good design or a great experience.
Project
Drag the Ban
Year
November 2023
Drag the Ban is a campaign created to support drag performers and raise awareness about legislation restricting drag performances. The design incorporates elements of protest, community, and defiance, aiming to amplify voices and support the rights of performers to express themselves freely and without fear.
