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
The Ballroom Book
Year
October 2024
The Ballroom 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 self-directed EP where I led every part of the creative process — from songwriting and music production to visual design and creative direction. The project explores themes of queer identity, emotional distance, and longing, using the metaphor of Pluto as a symbol for feeling far away but still orbiting connection. Sonically, it blends lo-fi textures with raw, introspective lyrics, while the visuals — which I designed — feature monotones, grain, and cosmic elements to reflect the mood of the music. Pluto is a multidisciplinary project built to feel like a world of its own — soft, isolated, and intentional.

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
This Is How I Remember Us: An Archive
Year
February 2025
This is how I remember us is a love letter / scrapbook / soft scream about me and my mom. It’s messy, honest, and full of things we didn’t always know how to say. This book lives in the in-between — between generations, between cultures, between the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown and the ones we’re still becoming. It’s love, the kind that waits for you to come home.

Project
COMMA: 2025
Year
March 2025
COMMA is a BIPOC+ student- and faculty-led collective within the Portland State University Graphic Design program, dedicated to creating intentional, inclusive spaces for dialogue, visibility, and creative expression. I’ve been actively involved in COMMA throughout my entire time in PSUGD, and in 2025, I had the opportunity to lead its branding and visual identity across multiple events and initiatives.
As the unofficial-yet-very-official "person doing the COMMA branding," I art directed a wide range of event materials—each with its own unique vibe and purpose—while maintaining a core sense of community and cultural relevance. This role involved everything from typography and layout design to discussions around what representation looks like in visual form. One of the things I admire most about this project is the range: no two designs looked the same, but they were all unmistakably COMMA.
