826 Valencia
Book Covers
AD Vivian Sming + Amanda Boessen
I helped design and illustrate a chapbook cover for the Young Authors Workshop writing cohort under 826 Valencia. With a range of mature topics, I decided to take an understated approach with the cover; many of the youth’s stories were based on films. The concept incorporated inspirations from film noir.

QWOCMAP - By Youth For Us
Exhibition Window, Brochure
In honor of API Heritage Month, “By Youth, For You” showcases 12 films created by queer and transgender youth in QWOCMAP’s film program. Drawing upon inspirations of intergenerational care, tenderness, joy, and creative expression, I illustrated and designed a pop-up window display and an accompanying flyer for the film program.
Connie Zheng - Collective Guest Composition
Exhibition Text Design
Website
I worked with artist Connie Zheng to design a set of contemplative instructions to guide viewers through a film and sound installation. This set of text lives as part of the YBCA Bay Area Now 9 exhibition.
Connie Zheng - Mooncake Harvest Party
Exhibition Text
The Mooncake Harvest Party, hosted by Connie Zheng celebrated the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival through poetry, DJ performances and mooncakes. Within the event identity, I wanted to incorporate moon motifs, like mooncakes and moon phases, to signify the full circle of transformation during Connie’s residency and the cycle of community care.
Sofia Cordova - dawn_chorusiii: the fruit they don’t have here
Publication, Digital Banner, Postcard
To accompany Sofia Cordova’s exhibition “ dawn_chorusiii:the fruit they don’t have here,” I designed the promotional postcards and publication. The video installation foregrounds the stories of six Bay Area women who journeyed to the United States as refugees, fleeing political persecution. The assets reflect the non-linear storytelling, enmeshing fantasy and reality.
Cathy Lu - Interior Garden
Outdoor Banner
To promote CCC’s newest exhibition ‘Interior Garden’ and CCC’s Design Store, I created bilingual vinyl banners to be hung in SF’s Portsmouth Square to appeal to both the Chinatown community and tourists alike. Utilizing sharp contrast and bright color palettes, the banners are visually captivating to visitors while maintaining legibility.
