A Reflexive 86 Pages Book About Finding
Meanings In Loose Connections

Book Design

86 pages. Softcover

135 & 100 GSM Envirocare

This book traces the subtle threads between beloved artworks, photography, nature, and moments of nostalgia, seemingly unrelated fragments that, when held in reflection, begin to speak to one another.
Through observation and intuitive pairing,
it explores how meaning is in the loose connections that echo something deeper, personal.

Melbourne Cinémathèque 20252024Identity – Print – Animation

Offset Print
A1 Calendar 
Cinema Screens


My proposed identity for Melbourne Cinémathèque 2025 draws inspiration from the circle, a shape deeply rooted in cinema history. Circle evokes the charm of old film projection techniques, where reels and lenses created the moving images, represented by the mirror effect within the circle. This concept is further reinforced by the circle mirrors located at various spots at the ACMI museum, where the event takes place. Melbourne Cinematheque 2025 is currently running at ACMI every Wednesday night, from February till December.

MPavilion Grotesk Type2025Type Design - Print

148 mm x 210 mm
Digital Print
50 pages. Softcover


MPavilion Grotesk is a custom typeface inspired by the 2024 MPavilion designed by renowned architect Tadao Ando. Influenced by Ando’s use of concrete, geometry, and light, the typeface reflects the architectural balance of the pavilion. Bold and modular, the letterforms feature horizontal cuts that echo the building’s linear openings, gaps that frame the surrounding landscape and invite interaction between structure and environment. MPavilion Grotesk translates these spatial qualities into a typographic system that is both grounded and expressive.
