ALAMBBrand Identity + Product Design2021 - 2024


I redesigned the visual identity for ALAMB COFFEE, a coffee chain with over 30 locations in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China. Drawing inspiration from the line weights in traditional Chinese calligraphy, I curated a style guide and created a logo that reflects the brand's story and values. The logo design nods to an Ethiopian legend of how sheep were first to discover coffee berries, symbolizing ALAMB COFFEE's commitment to heritage and authenticity.
OSMANTHUSBook Design2024

This book delves into the psychology of nature in interior design, highlighting how elements like scent, inspired by the scent of my hometown, influence emotions and behaviors within homes. By exploring Osmanthus’s cultural significance and its integration into interior spaces, this book offers insights into the profound connections between scent, design, and our sense of home.

Inspired by the tulips giveaways in Union Square, this project captures the essence of community warmth, bringing a burst of floral joy to city streets and even bringing nature into the musty subway commutes.

KAKATHELABELBrand Identity + Logo Design2022 - 2024
I co-founded KAKATHELABEL and designed its brand identity and logo. As the head graphic designer, I was responsible for the logo and interface design, social media management, digital promotion, web-page design, and content creation. The brand has been showcased in renowned platforms like Vogue Mexico, New York Fashion Week, Vancouver Fashion Week, SICKY Magazine, and more.

Typography ExplorationType Dissection 2024
I conducted a type dissection study on Roc Grotesk, closely analyzing its unique forms and characteristics. By deconstructing its structure, I was able to incorporate its elements into the design of graphic posters, creating a visual narrative that plays on the type's distinct features while exploring its versatility in different design contexts.
Typography Exploration


I designed exhibition posters, social media content, and aided in the design of the web interface, for TEAOC.ART, an online platform that promotes and sells works from emerging Asian artists around the world. This project allowed me to combine creative storytelling with functional design to elevate underrepresented talent on a global stage.


These are a few of my explorative works in motion graphics and animation, where I utilized TouchDesigner to create dynamic, audio-reactive visuals. Each piece reflects my interest in the intersection of sound and movement, pushing the boundaries of digital design to bring rhythm and energy to visual storytelling.
