Diaspora album design
Giving voice to the experiences of the Asian American diaspora, jazz accordionist Josh Hou weaves together original and traditional pieces on Diaspora, Hou’s album released in late 2024. I worked with Josh to design and illustrate a wrap-around album cover evoking the feel of Chinese shui-mo hua ink-wash painting using modern techniques.
Giving equal weight to both Chinese and English titles and typography proved to be the primary challenge of the design process. Working with Josh, a native Chinese speaker, we arrived at design decisions that struck the right balance between the two. As a member of the Taiwanese American diaspora, I was personally honored to take on this project and enriched by the experience.

KEXP encompasses a global community of music lovers and music makers. Originating at the University of Washington, it has grown into a nonprofit organization that builds relationships and community through broadcast, streaming, and in-person music experiences in Seattle, California, and beyond.
As neighbors of KEXP in Seattle Center, Path with Art was honored to join forces with this incredible organization during Mental Health Awareness Month.
