Project Description Core Club defines itself not as a pilates or wellness studio, but a rejuvenating space for daily rituals. It is a beautiful, functional space for people who value movement, relaxation and connection with oneself and with others. Whether it be going for runs, meditating, sipping coffee while chatting to friends, or challenging yourself to cold-water plunges, it is a welcoming hub for all things that encompass a daily ritual.
The icon is simple yet effective. The form resembles stacking rocks often seen as symbols in yoga practices but by adding a slight tilt to the top, the icon feels new and memorable all while representing the harmony and balance one can achieve through joining the Core Club. The bright colours paired with the dark brown is an unusual choice for an industry like this. Tranquil colours such as blues and greens are often expected, but because the Core Club is not your usual wellness club, the bright colours instead portray a modern, innovative and fast-moving energy while the deep brown brings a sense of warmth and groundedness. An unexpected contrast that works harmoniously.

Project DescriptionA small yet punchy local juice parlour serving cold-pressed juice daily. Their juices are not your ordinary - powerful ingredients like kale, ginger, turmeric and carrots provide an explosive blend of vitamins and zesty flavours which give you a natural, guilt-free energy boost in your daily routine. Because the process of juice making involves cutting, blending and pressing, the wordmark embodies all the processes by making the letters look like cutter blades through the quirky cut-out circles within the letters while the loud, chunky form mimics heavy-duty juicers. The primary colours (red and blue) make the brand loud, bold and disruptive to their industry.

Project DescriptionBilingual people often find themselves in a liminal space of two cultures. It is a place that can often feel lonely, frustrating and confusing as one tries to identify which culture they truly belong to. As someone who has had first-hand experience living in this liminal space, this was a personal research project that highlighted my imperfect knowledge of Japanese and English - the challenge being to portray these experiences to a monolingual audience. It explores common mistakes and habits I have observed in both English and Japanese, showing how the organised mess of the two languages may be visualised in my head.
This project was to encourage other bilingual people to embrace their diversity as one should not feel “uprooted”, “rootless” or “hybrid” but instead should identify themselves within both cultures for “bicultural people are the bridges between the cultures they belong to and can see both sides” (Grosjean, F. (2010), Bilingual: Life and Reality. In (pp. 108-120). Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press)
