Selected Works
- IT Book — Internal project, Wieden+Kennedy Shanghai
- Athlete Story — Concept explorations

These works explore collage as a way of thinking and storytelling. By combining found materials, handwritten notes, paper textures, and unexpected imagery, I use analog techniques to create narratives that feel intuitive, humorous, and emotionally expressive.

One project is an experimental IT Book, entirely handmade using cardboard, handwritten notes, collage, and hand-binding. Created years ago, it reimagines the conventional IT manual by replacing rigid instructions with a tactile, playful reading experience. The rough materials, visible construction, and handmade imperfections bring warmth and personality to a subject that is often perceived as technical and impersonal.

The second project is a series of visual explorations imagining the emotional world of athletes through collage. Rather than documenting physical movement, the compositions visualize thoughts and feelings behind each moment—a desperate save becomes as urgent as rescuing a cat, a high jump reaches toward the moon, and crossing the finish line unfolds into a blooming field of flowers. Humor and imagination transform familiar sporting moments into poetic visual stories.

Although collage is no longer a dominant visual language in contemporary design, I'm continually drawn to its rawness, warmth, and imperfections. Its layered nature creates unexpected relationships between images, bringing humor, emotion, and a quiet sense of rebellion that still feels refreshingly human today.
