Dovetail Display is a customised typeface that pays homage to the iconic dovetail form - the strongest technique for joining solid timber that predates written history. This display typeface was made exclusively for Maiden Company to celebrate their passion for craftsmanship, solid timber and their traditional way of working.
In collaboration with Scott Burns.
Now You Hear Us (2022)
campaign strategy
swipe for more ➢
This project was created in response to D&AD Newblood Google x HMCT brief and was awarded a yellow pencil.
Temporary migrant workers play a key role within Australia’s supply chains. However, the barrier of language means that workers are often unseen, unheard and forgotten within the gaps of policy. This campaign disrupts the day-to-day by taking over Google search and using multilingual scripts to replicate the frustrations of experiencing a language barrier, enabling Australians to empathise with these vulnerable workers and break down the divide between migrants and non-migrants.
In collaboration with Caitlin Ong, Subin Yoon & Amanda Fung.
Personal contribution: reserach, conceptualisation, strategy, billboard designs and animation.
Living without a trace (2022)
web development, typography, creative code
swipe for more ➢
'Living without a trace' is an attempt to visualise statelessness through creative code and typography. The UDHR estimates that there are 10 million people stateless persons in the world. They are not considered a citizen within any nation and lack access to healthcare, education and face difficulty getting employment or identiy certificates which leaves them more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.

publication, typography
AGDA Awards 2021 Student Publication, Merit & Juror's Choice
