Brand philosophy:

Betel leaves were originally used to wrap betel nuts, and they were known for their antibacterial and cancer-fighting properties. As the cultur e of co n suming bete l nuts in Taiwan declined due to stigma, the livelihoods of betel farmers have been affected and they are seeking to transform the industry and find new opportunities. Thus, we established a concept for a brand rooted in the home of the betel leaves, and developed the tea brand Piper Betel Tea.

The product combines Taitung's specialty with local cultural symbols, and the black nets used in the planting process are recycled into a part of the packaging to further the connection between the product and its place of origin.

Bazaar Magazine Layout Design / Photography

This is a magazine about Taichung's bazaars. In the process of creating this magazine, I visited many bazaars in Taichung and experienced the beauty of human interaction in those bazaars. As I interviewed the vendors, I saw their confidence and enthusiasm as they talked about their products, and I was moved by them after I learned of their stories. This magazine was a great learning experience, since I started from scratch. I not only learned about layouts and editing but also did the copywriting and the photography by looking up information and traveling to those destination myself.

3D Paper Structure

Night Lamp Paper Lamp Light Design 20 * 60 * 20 cm

Design Concept:

While I was making this lamp, I wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and to have the best possible performance, so I made its appearance similar to that of a Taiwan’s tradition window gratings. That way, when the lamp is turned on in a dark place, there are variations in the patterns as well as the amount of light shining through the cut-out gaps, giving the lamp a more unique and aesthetically-pleasing appearance. The lamp uses a warm-coloured light bulb, and makes for a great night light to help people relax before going to sleep.

3D Paper Structure

Boundless 3D paper cut structure

Design Concept : This paper sculpture was the first thing I made for a course on 3D structures. Squares sized 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm are repeated over and over to fill an A4 sheet of paper. The squares have two different designs since I wished to depict the aesthetics of having things placed together in great numbers, as well as the sense of relief that comes with seeing things neatly arranged. My favourite part is the curvatures of the paper structure in both designs.

Animations

Shake it animation design Length: 90 seconds

The animation was inspired by a dance video that I really like. Both the dance and the music in it were so beautiful that I made an animation of the video in the hopes of reliving the experience that I had when I saw it, but in a different way.
