DesignTO 2025
January 2025
Part of Design team for the 2025 festival with Aaryan Pashine under Hwa-jin Jun’s creative directorship. 

Drawing inspiration from fireworks lighting up the night sky and confetti cannons bursting with colourful ribbons, we settled on a concept featuring “portals or magical wormholes that open to celebratory dimensions,”. Follwing this I programmed cellular automata algorithms with Aaryan Pashine that would generate growing forms, bringing the illustrations to life in design artifacts for the festival.

28th Reel Asian International Film Festival
November 2024
The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival is Canada’s largest pan-Asian film festival, showcasing contemporary Asian cinema and work from Asian diaspora artists.

For the 28th edition, I worked in collaboration with the festival’s marketing director and creative artist, translated the year’s theme and artwork into a cohesive and accessible visual language; e.g programm guide, poster, postcard, large-format prints, screening slides and social media posts. The designs were adapted for both digital and print media, maintaining consistency across platforms while capturing the dynamic spirit of the festival. In addition to being involved in prepress setup, layout design, and ensuring accessibility and brand alignment throughout.
