Rebranding for Le Studio Anthost
Brooklyn, NY, 2024
Le Studio Anthost needed a cohesive visual identity. The new identity reflects the Studio’s modern, minimalist approach to a mythical grandeur and bold elegance.
I established the identity across three platforms: the website, the catalogue (& other print/pdf formats like press kits, promotional brochures), and social media. The same vision is portrayed with a different tone for different audiences.

Wallpaper catalogue for Laine + Alliage
Brooklyn, NY, 2023
The catalogue represents the brand, showcases their products, and, most importantly, inspires with its vision. Its size, around A5, makes distribution at events and through mail easy. Additionally, I was involved in the photoshoots for this project.

Manifesto for Utopia
2024
What does ChatGPT think Utopia is like? The manifesto outlines the structures of utopian life and how humanity can reach it. The text is written by ChatGPT, and edited and prompted by me. I wrote the last chapter to provide context and biases of ChatGPT. Illustrations and calligraphy by me. Hand-bound with laser-engraved leather.

FOLIO Magazine
in progress
FOLIO is a fictional art & culture magazine with which I reimagined the digital reading experience. I propose that websites can democratize access to information; promote more intentional, critical, and convenient reading experiences; and offer an editorial experience that complements rather than copies print.

Queering Vietnam
2022
A visualization of messages left in Vietnam on the Queering the Map website. The non-hierarchical approach was the best fit for organizing tones and feelings. The themes are what the stories are about, and the moods describe the authors' feelings. A darker color corresponds to higher numbers of messages with the same theme or mood. The right tab lists demographic data and the limitations of this data collection.

Modern Reform
2022
Banknotes for dystopian Poland where the conservative party, PiS, continues its reign. The modern design, inspired by Swiss and Canadian banknotes, contrasts the traditional values represented by the politicians.
