OVERFISHING

Ode to Wonton is a short book explaining my love for wonton soup, and ultimately my love for the family connections that it brings. When I moved away from home, food, specifically wonton, brought back nostalgia and comfort when I was missing my family. The first book I created, I loved breaking down the magic of wonton and seeing my grandma's reaction when she read it for the first time. 

As a young child armed with my local aquarium pass, I loved the ocean and learning about the beautiful world that lived under the sea. Having lived on the west coast it is clear that the ocean has become interwoven with our way of life. However, this makes overfishing a growing problem that could leave thousands of people without jobs and without food. This informational brochure and app aims to raise awareness of the drastic changes overfishing has causing to the ecosystem and the potential impacts it has on humans. 

Rabbit on the Run is a children's pop up book series that describes the journey of a girl who's rabbit leads her onto an adventure in an old apartment that has a labyrinth of magical rooms. Each book represents a floor of the apartment, distinctive by colour. The beginning and last spread connect to where the last left off. Each room is full of different surprises, where the viewer can find the rabbit in odd places. The pop ups and variations within the illustrations engage the reader without words. It is an imaginative, immersive and interactive way to look at rooms and the stories they could tell.
