Book Design: Don't judge a book by its cover? Respectfully disagree. A cover is the first conversation a book has with its reader, and it only gets one chance. If the contents of a book are who you are, the cover is how you choose to show up. Here are a few book covers and a picture book written and illustrated by me.
Cookbooks: Awarded a ‘Certificate of Typographic Excellence’ by the Type Directors Club (TDC). These covers were published in Typographics 22 and exhibited globally across New York, Europe, Japan, Canada, and Mexico.
Threads of Tales & Tails is my debut picture book, originally conceived as a wordless book and selected as one of the Top 42 in the 2026 Bologna Silent Book Contest (Italy). Five white tigers dream of color, chase a magpie's trail of vibrant feathers across the mountains, and discover the magic was within them all along.
Poetry book cover designs for two Korean poetry collections published by Changhyun Publishing. Love is Like an Onion uses a bold black and white checkerboard illustration with hand-drawn figures to capture the layered complexity of love. Waiting for Someone to Stay by My Side strips everything back to a single bench on red, letting the stillness of waiting speak for itself.
