WYNX: Declare Your Style
A scene showcasing the interactive environment experienced by verified Human Only Artists within WYNX.
WYNX: Declare Your Style imagines a future where AI-generated content dominates digital spaces, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish human authorship.
In response, the project reinterprets the traditional act of artists signing their work through a contemporary verification system for human-made creations. Inspired by the structure of the universe, creators are visualised as dynamic metaball forms within an interconnected digital environment. The metaballs symbolise the flow of human touch, emotion and meaning between creators while maintaining individual identity.
More than a verification platform, WYNX proposes a speculative community that redefines the value of human creativity in the age of AI.
Baybeats: Beyond Dimension
Baybeats: Beyond Dimension is a 2025 rebranding project for Baybeats, Singapore’s largest free alternative music festival. The project reinterprets Baybeats’ energetic and free-spirited identity into a more immersive, youth-driven experience centred around worldbuilding and narrative.
The story begins with a giant demonic entity arriving in Singapore after being drawn to the energy of Baybeats’ music. To amplify the power of sound, the creature summons distorted monster-like forms inspired by iconic Singaporean elements, transforming the festival into an alternate dimension where audiences can temporarily escape reality and experience freedom and emotional release.
Visually, the project combines pixel art, sprite animation, digital glitch graphics and apocalyptic aesthetics to create an immersive atmosphere that resonates with Gen Z audiences.
Expanding beyond traditional poster design, the campaign was developed across social media content, motion graphics and augmented reality interactions, proposing a new way of experiencing music visually through festival branding.
Read Your Way
While typography has always been a designer's decision, Read Your Way returns that control to the reader.
A collaboration between Penguin Random House and Monotype, Read Your Way challenges publishing's oldest assumption: one typeface fits all. From typeface and weight to kerning, spacing and colour, every typographic variable becomes adjustable, letting readers actively shape how words look, feel and land on the page.
This does not only result in better readability, but forms a reading experience built around the individual based on their comfort, accessibility, needs, mood and expression.
Readers have always chosen what to read. Now they choose how they read.
