DESIGN JOURNEY
This book records an important turning-point on my design road. I painted this moment on canvas using illustrative techniques to bring alive the moments of memory. Inspiration comes from my daily sketchbook from which I chose key moments that represent my design journey. I used paint to express best feelings at each stage of illustration.

The aim is to illustrate the harmfulness of smoking while promoting the office community in a relaxed and healthy way, giving the chance of a modicum of exercise.
ICON
DESIGN
This series of art works, emblematic in design, are inspired by Dongba pictograms. They combine ancient symbols and simultaneously promote the threatened minority Dongba culture.
This series is composed of geometric lights made of rice paper. The inspiration comes both from epic literature and from traditional Chinese bronze manufacture which uses a model, casting molten copper on its surface, then removing the model after the copper has cooled. In this reinvention, waste paper is soaked in water then wrapped on the mould. The mould is then removed once the paper has dried and coloured lights are introduced before the whole is sealed and painted with oils.
This project uses traditional crafts in the design of something modern and environmentally sustainable.
The paper carries a special emotion much like a love letter was once integral to courtship. Love letters have vanished from modern, electronically mediated societies but this relies on a folk memory. When the old letter it turned over, a complex emotion pours out. This faded memory is irreplaceable compared with more modern communications. Faded rolls of paper are used to express the delicate yet complicated and deeply romantic memory.
