Designed a rebranded identity for the former NYC-based meal delivery service, “Freshly.” Specified the service’s product by replacing the meal delivery service that consists of multiple cuisines and dining options with a kit of fruit and vegetables tailored to a specific menu for crafting smoothies and homemade beverages that are still provided with the same delivery system. Strived to infuse a vibrant and dynamic quality into the brand's overall image through a meticulous selection of typefaces, icons, and color schemes.

Produced a fictional plant delivery service under the name “Planto” for consumers to be accustomed to the increase in the homebody population and the interest in indoor hobbies post-COVID-19. The brand provides a personalized plant maintenance service that prioritizes comfort and connection, in which customers can entrust their plants to the brand during their early stages of development and later reuniting with them once the plants have fully flourished.

Laser Cut Typography
Created a custom typeface “Cockroach Sans,” whilst exploring and elucidating the thematic element of 'change' inherent in Franz Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis.” Linked to the narrative's contextual nuances, the font was designed to mimic the gradual distortion of visual elements, effectively reflecting the protagonist, Gregor Samsa’s, transformative journey.

Book Design
Developed three experimental book designs using “Cockroach Sans,” the font created from Kafka’s novel as aforementioned. All three books encapsulate the contents and page layouts of the three chapters from the original novel within the symbolic form of a cockroach, delving into the essence of the narrative. Representing individual chapters, the books vary in size, font style, and layout, symbolizing the narrative's evolution. An image of a cockroach-like creature emerges when the pages come together in a single chapter, a metaphor for the novel's protagonist, Gregor Samsa's, physical and psychological transformations. The typeface Noto Sans was utilized for the novel's content and text, and was also morphed throughout the story to create a warped and unsettling appearance.

Package Design
Designed packages tailored for children by blending zoo maps and organic elements, and implemented animal plush toys, inspired to address the complex issue of artificial enclosures in zoos that negatively impact captive animals' physical, mental, and behavioral well-being. The packaging represents both captivity and freedom; the front cover shows a map of a zoo as a route to freedom, whereas the plush toy is constricted within the box.
