Art for All Ball 2025 invitation design
In service of its mission to provide free and accessible art opportunities to all, Path with Art hosts an annual fundraising gala called the Art for All Ball. The theme for 2025 was “reCHARGE”—a nod to a deeply felt need in our present societal moment to come together in community and refill our reserves of creativity, motivation, and inspiration.
As the design lead on this project, I collaborated with Path with Art’s Marketing Director to devise this year’s brand identity. We landed on a pop-art-inspired aesthetic, choosing a lightning bolt as the graphic anchor for the suite of design assets supporting the Ball. This tri-fold print invitation, which hit thousands of mailboxes in the Seattle area and beyond, shared the excitement and energy around this once-a-year opportunity to support Path with Art’s invaluable mission.

Merchandise: “Art is the Remedy” tote bags
Featuring Path with Art’s tagline, “Art is the Remedy,” these tote bags refreshed the organization’s evergreen merchandise to reflect its current brand direction. I utilized graphic typography consistent with PwA’s suite of updated brand assets, using high-contrast colors to evoke a strong visual message.

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.
