()

is a Netherlands-based visual communication designer and researcher from Hong Kong. She acquired her research-based design methodology through studies in (BA) Communication Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and (MA) Information Design at Design Academy Eindhoven. Her approach emphasises the synthesis of complex ideas into accessible visual narratives, integrating insights from diverse disciplines.
  Previous design experiences in graphic studios and architecture-based multidisciplinary design company have refined her practical skills in typesetting, data visualisation, editorial design, branding, and design narrative. With a deep awareness of cultural nuances, she navigates social and historical contexts, ensuring her work remains both engaged and contextually sensitive.
  Aside from professional practice, her inquisitiveness about mundane human behaviours and attentiveness to the surrounding built environment often inform her design inquiry, allowing her to bridge the personal and the social in her work.
She sees graphic design as one of the major languages used to process information. Infographics as an instrument unfold the complexity of subjects. They capture the volatility of contemporary social events in form of documentation. As a design practitioner in the Post-Truth Era, she recognises the urgency of foregrounding the existing information infrastructure, its production, and its landscape in realms beyond graphic design.
  Design is more than problem-solving. She believes design is always an answer—not necessarily to a problem, but to a question about what it means to be an entity in a societal system and our intricate world.
