I love pushing storytelling beyond the screens — turning illustrations into experiences you can touch, feel, and play with.

See below for a few of my past projects.

Potential Memories (2022)

An illustrated reflection on my mother’s childhood memories, exhibited at StrayBirds in Taichung, Taiwan, 2022.

Here/There (2021)

My first experiment combining static illustration with animation and projection mapping— blending wall art into a tangible experience with light and motion.

This project was part of a group exhibition at Gray Area SF during SF Design Week 2021.

Step Into The Frame (2019)

In collaboration with Miso Soup Design for the exhibition Future Is Now, I created a series of illustrations integrated throughout the exhibition flow, designed to spark interactions and invite conversations.
