Visual Language of Taiwan
Type Design
Graphic Design
2024
Taiwan is where I was born and raised, a place rich in culture and history. However, the visual language of Taiwan is often vague for various reasons, and many people in Taiwan are not familiar with it. In this personal project, I aimed to reconstruct Taiwan's unique visual language through two sets of typography designs.
The first typography “North” has a more commercial appearance, as I intend to use it to rebrand the products from Taiwan's traditional industries, which have a greater chance of visibility. This visual transformation aims to reshape viewers' perceptions of Taiwan. My design was influenced by the iconic "Echo" magazine, which has played a significant role in Taiwan's graphic design landscape since 1970. Additionally, I incorporated elements of Chinese typography into this typeface design.
The second typography “South” features an experimental and graphic look as I planned to combine with illustrations of Taiwan's iconic elements. This combination will be used to design a series of postage stamps aimed at showcasing Taiwan's unique design, style, and way of life to a broader audience.
The concept behind the second typography draws inspiration from the symbolic significance of circles in Taiwan. These shapes represent ideals of perfection, auspiciousness, and good fortune, making them prominent features in our temples, festivals, and daily life.

This project required us to select a character and create experimental typography related to it. In this project, I explored type alongside image, texture, and place to enhance the visual narrative of the typography. Ultimately, I designed four newspaper spreads focused on my persona. Creating the immersive reading experience to strengthen visual communication through the integration of experimental layouts and key elements.
For my project, I chose Mr. Bean as the persona. I conveyed his story, personality, and essence through a thoughtful combination of objects, textures, colors, and typography.
Mr. Bean
For me, hedgehog is the best creature to describe Mr. Bean. His temper, behavior and selfishness like the stings on the hedgehogs that used to protect himself, but you still can tell his innocence and naive from the bottom of his heart. In addition, the rounded shape brings out the funny part of his personality.Utopian
Presenting the idea that “Mr. Bean is inherently utopian.” which was claimed by lots of critics. Mr. Bean lives comfortably, toils little, and lives within his means. Thus, I used old but fancy furniture to match the idea and the environment he lived.Mundane
The whole series of Mr. Bean talks about how he deals with the problems that happen in mundane life through his unexpected solutions. The visual of the traffic jam matches the plot and the quirkiness of Mr. Bean subtly. I printed out countless traffic pictures and bent them into different shapes to form the letters.Burden
I used colorful cotton candy to form the letters of “Burden”, which could convey clearly that Mr. Bean doesn’t have any burden at all and lives in the life everybody dreams of. I made the letters with cotton which has a similar texture and effect to cotton candy.A Child
By using shaving foam as a medium to convey the concept of “ A child trapped in the body of a man.” which is often associated with the character of Mr. Bean. As you can see, they just look like the process of shaving on a grown man's skin but with playful and childish elements at the same time.P003 →

Stay Focused
Motion Design
Graphic Design
2023
In this digital age, many people struggle with maintaining focus due to the pervasive influence of social media and the demands of multitasking. This lack of focus significantly reduces productivity, comprehension, and creativity. Research indicates that the average college student (Generation Z) is the most affected by this issue, managing to concentrate on a task for just 65 seconds on average. To address this problem, I created three designs aimed at helping college students improve their focus through different mediums.
Scanimation is an engaging medium that captures attention and raises awareness about the serious issue of digital distraction. The goal is to encourage students to put down their phones and concentrate on a single task for more than 65 seconds. I designed a nine-frame story to illustrate this problem, with the scanimation installation serving as an initial step toward enhancing their focus.
Stickers can be placed in various locations, delivering messages each time someone passes by. My objective is to use stickers with optical illusions to capture college students' attention and prompt them to interpret the underlying message of the graphics. This method serves as a continuous and accessible reminder to stay focused.
The purpose of these three motion designs is to interrupt the cycle of endless scrolling among college students. Recognizing the addictive nature of social media content, I decided to integrate these reminders within their digital environment. By blending into the content they regularly consume, these designs subtly remind students to break the habit of mindless browsing.

Starland Dairy Graphic Design
Packaging Design
2022
Starland Dairy was built in 1932 and supplied milk to Savannah residents until the 1980s. After it was abandoned for years, two SCAD students purchased it and started to restore the old Starland Dairy. The building of Starland Dairy became the centerpiece of the revitalization project in this area. More and more business and art-related campaigns moved in by 2003 which gave this place full of creativity and energetic vibes. Several interesting stores and artists are gathering in the district right now. Starland Dairy plays an indispensable role in rebirthing the neighborhood. In this project, I tried to communicate the story and the scenarios in 1932 through contemporary lens via designs.Starland Dairy

I decided to design labels for five milk bottles, as milk held a special place in our neighborhood's history, connecting people and bringing warmth. Consequently, I went to various vintage stores in Savannah to find old milk bottles, albeit without success. Therefore, I bought new ones and aged them to look used. I used a contemporary design and color palette to create a stark contrast.
(Motion Design) New Media
Motion is an interesting way to tell the story of the past yet combine the energetic and creative vibe that exists at present in Starland district. The old and nostalgic background music and the visual elements from Starland Dairy could help audiences immerse into the scenario of 1932, but in a contemporary way and design.photos from:

TED 2025 Humanity Reimagined Graphic Design
Motion Design
2025
TED 2025 challenges us to rethink what it means to be human as AI, biotechnology, and creativity transform our world. We must push the boundaries of imagination, innovation, and human connection to create a future we can thrive in.
My concept explores how technology and humanity can not only coexist but elevate one another. The minimal design aligns with the brand identity while offering a fresh, modern perspective. To bring depth and energy, we used highlight colors into our linework to add a dynamic feel and naturally guide the viewer’s eyes.TED 2025 Humanity Reimagined

(Fingerprint)
When I think of humanity, the first thing that comes to mind is the fingerprint—a symbol of our unique identity that no technology can replace. Rather than using a purely futuristic, tech-driven aesthetic, we used clean, minimal lines to design the fingerprint, with slightly rough edges to retain a hand-drawn, organic feel—preserving the essence of humanity.

This data visualization project aims to use design to create a persuasive narrative based on fake data. I developed an interactive children's book designed to convey the idea that toys are alive and capable of moving, feeling, and communicating. The objective is to encourage children to cherish their toys and dolls, treating them with care and respect as if they were family.The Light Goes Out

1. Toy Movement Detection: In a study of 100 children, 80% reported instances of their toys moving when they were not looking.
2. Soulful Interaction: 60% of individuals believe their childhood toys possess a soul or lifelike qualities. This belief is often rooted in personal experiences of toys appearing to respond to emotional cues.
3. Unique communication: Toys can communicate using their own unique language. 60% of households reported that their surveillance cameras captured instances where toys appeared to engage in conversations and interactions while their owners were away.

This project was to create the Matrix Map of my thinking and working process, which allows me to look closer at how my brain works, as well as offering insights into a way of working and presenting my ideas. After I listed and organized all the things in my working process, I found that the idea of the solar system can visualize it subtly. People would understand it right away through their interconnection and relationship based on our understanding of the solar system.
