mi manchi amico mio
Best Student Publication, Finalist, AGDA, 2022 A publication that explores mnemonics and its manifestations in visual culture. The book acts as an extension of my theoretical research, showcasing a collection of images from my family archive. Each spread in the publication is treated as a fragment of memory, with no chronology but a fluidity similar to that of a Neorealist film.

The Saturday Paper, rebrand
In collaboration with Yew Qi Yap, Li Jun Wang, Yungmeng Jia &Ananya SainiTo aid in the Saturday Paper’s transition from print to digital, we proposed a gradual move away from print through the design of a b5 mini-newspaper as well as a refresh of the branding and digital offerings across their website and social media platforms.
The design draws upon the strong typographic language of headlines on newsstands in Melbourne in the early to mid-20th century. Bold headlines replace images emphasising witty and eye-catching headlines and showcasing The Saturday Paper's unique tone of voice.
