Amelia An animated short film about the journey of finding the balance between giving and receiving help We put a lot of emphasis on helping others but sometimes overlook the importance of accepting help. This short film was inspired by my mom: due to the extreme imbalance between giving and receiving, she faced a serious giver burnout which led to a year-long depression. The scene is set in a circle, as well as the main storyline, indicating receiving help isn’t a selfish act but a way to recharge in order to help others further.

Their land and rights were taken from them long time ago and they are raising their voice to fight back now. I was thinking, “how can I use design to raise awareness?” Non-profit organizations often times can only reach certain people who already care about the topic. By incorporating aboriginal elements into the product design, I hope to make people who originally only care about the liquor itself curious about the story and origin of the product. This way, it opens up opportunities to reach out to audiences who wouldn’t be aware otherwise. Client: 2017 PRINT RDA winner Website: printmag.com Services: Identity / Motion / Packaging AWARD 2017 PRINT Magazine Regional Design Awards Multigon This is a project I made out of paper for a 3D Design class. I adore the simplicity of geometric sculptures. The elegant lines and clean shapes combine to form a delicate sophistication. The process of making this sculpture was a bit confusing since there were many different ways of connecting each side. Even after marking everything, there is still a great chance that things can go wrong. Details as small as taping one side to the right or left, on top or at the bottom could change the whole plan. I used two textures in this project. One of them was to cut the paper with a dull knife from inside to create a ripping effect. The other was to tape tissues to the surface and then tear them off so that only a few thin layers remain on the sculpture.
