3. Mud Australia x London Craft Week
Commissioned 360° Campaign
 

As part of a team of five, developed narrative strategy, art direction, and creative content for a 360° campaign celebrating 30 years of craft. 

Built a poetic, culturally informed campaign that translated the brand’s Australian heritage for a London audience, connecting story to store through film, photography, print, sculptural displays, and community workshops.

4. “You Are Here: Click Anywhere to Advance” 
Digital Flipbook

Experimental research and design project leveraging interactivity to introduce friction in media consumption, reflecting and mediating the acceleration of today’s hyperreal visual world.

The output is a 9:16 looping “short-form video” that requires manual frame-by-frame progression, over time causing severe visual distortion through a blend of iPhone footage, manual graphic animation and AI-generated interpolation.

5. Ephemera: What’s Lost Without Keeping?
Skeuomorphic Digital Flipbook & Physical Archive

Research-driven exploration of how digitalization transforms cultural memory, presented as both a physical archive and skeuomorphic digital flipbook replicating analog collection practices.
