An experimental journey exploring my own design bias—where gradients meet baroque, symmetry flirts with AI, and I learn to both break and embrace my style.
While working on brand identities, I explored my own design style through experiments with merchandise like posters, life planners, and mini-mail packages. I tend to use gradients, blending modes, baroque ornaments, symmetry, generative AI, 3D assets, ASCII art, and typography. This exercise helped me recognize my design biases, and now I’m learning how to break or use them in future projects.
This self-portrait reflects my design bias—through style, composition, and symbolic elements. The background features a Fingerprint-River Map I created for London isn’t England; Yangon isn’t Myanmar, a project that resonated with my own experience of exile due to Myanmar’s military coup.
Layered with ASCII art, my Zin World bunny logo, 3D wireframes, and visual fragments from my first AR projects (Celestial Petals and a Blender/Lens Studio filter), this piece captures the intersections of identity, digital space, and creative resistance. It’s both a reflection of who I am and what has shaped my journey as a designer.
While I love making plans, I often struggle to follow them—and life rarely goes as expected. This planner reflects that uncertainty. The left side simply lists a few life goals I hope to achieve, embracing both structure and spontaneity in a world of unpredictable turns.
The first mail promoted Seasons of the Lotus Calendar, featuring a pop-up card shaped like a lotus flower. Alongside the calendar card, the package included a custom coaster set, a sticker, and my business card—blending storytelling, cultural identity, and design in a format that builds connection and curiosity with each release.
