Mykey

Milano

2021
Illustrator/Graphic designer

Mykey is a Chinese-based fashion brand established in Italian. I held the role of graphic designer during the Autumn 2021 and Spring 2022 seasons. Within this capacity, I contributed to the creation of print and graphic designs, employing unconventional mediums such as whimsical collages, crayons, and sketches. These designs served to convey anti-war themes, infusing the brand's collections with depth and meaning. Through this project, I sought to challenge traditional design norms and spark conversations around pressing social issues.

Google

2020
Graphic Designer

Throughout Google's 2020 HIV research in China, I contributed as a graphic designer, harmonising minimalist Chinese design elements with Google's distinctive colour palette. This collaboration facilitated the creation of visual materials for internal meetings, ensuring coherence and impact in conveying complex information. Moreover, I ensured that the designs reflected Google's commitment to LGBTQA+ rights, promoting inclusivity and diversity within the organisation's initiatives. By integrating culturally relevant aesthetics with Google's branding and advocating for LGBTQA+ rights, I aimed to enhance comprehension and engagement among participants, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all stakeholders.
