Hi! I’m a graphic designer, printmaker, and collector (hoarder) who explores the emotional connection between people, objects, and memories. I look at books as physical, miniature spaces, small containers that can hold personal histories. By combining historical visual research with editorial design and illustration, I create tactile books that bring past stories to life.

Private Love

This book explores the private, unique, and often invisible presence of love. It lives in the warmth of a touch, the care in one’s eyes, and the hidden ‘lover’s eye’ within the heart, capturing those intense emotions that others cannot easily see.

Chapter One: Behaviour

Chapter Two: Objects

Chapter Three: Language

Unpacking

After moving multiple times, I have gradually learned the art of letting go. This project explores how archiving personal belongings can preserve the emotional memories attached to them, turning everyday objects into pocket-sized souvenirs through the form of miniature books.

Bàn-Toh

In Taiwan, Bàn-Toh are a culinary tradition deeply rooted in local life, where travelling chefs once set up mobile kitchens and round tables to create a unique atmosphere of communal dining. While the term literally means preparing tables and welcoming guests, culturally, it represents an entire system of ritual and etiquette.

This series of three books documents the easily ignored objects of the bàn-toh table – each indispensable, and each carrying its own layer of cultural memory.
