Truth or Fate

| Visual Storytelling | Illustration x Editorial Design |  Rice Thief is a Korean restaurant in New York City that celebrates the bold flavors of marinated raw seafood and the tender nostalgia of home-cooked meals. The visual identity draws inspiration from Korean family kitchens, seaside markets, and the quiet rituals of sharing food. Hand-drawn illustrations and organic textures are thoughtfully integrated to reflect the intimacy and warmth of a meal that feels like home—deeply personal yet meant to be shared. Every design element, from packaging to signage, carries the rhythm of comfort, tradition, and culinary craft, echoing the brand’s mission to nourish both body and memory. | Watercolor | Procreate | Adobe Suite | Light Box Design Menu Design Rice Thief - Winter 2024

| Package Design & Illustration | Craft Kit Design |  A culturally rooted packaging concept designed to celebrate the Year of the Snake, drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese mythology and visual heritage. The structure of the box echoes the sinuous form of the Great Wall, symbolizing the ancient belief that the Snake is the mother of the land—an origin figure deeply tied to creation and protection. The visual language integrates the aesthetics of paper cutting, shadow puppetry, and Chinese ink painting, weaving together a narrative of elegance, mystery, and folklore. Each element unfolds like a scroll, honoring both the artistry of traditional craftsmanship and the timeless symbolism of the zodiac. | Watercolor | Adobe Suite |      OliOli - Winter 2024 | Photo Credit: OliOli
