Board games, workshops and visual tools that invite people of all ages to engage with climate action, circular economy and urban sustainability in a playful way.
As climate change intensifies, communities need new ways to discuss and imagine responses together. I designed a collaborative board game that combines storytelling, systems thinking and playful prompts to help residents explore actions they can take in their daily lives, while strengthening local support networks.
Trash FL!P is a fast-paced card game and workshop format developed to rethink waste sorting in China. Through playful missions and storytelling, participants discover where their trash goes, what systems are behind it, and how they can shift everyday habits. The game has been used in schools, NGOs and public events.
To better understand waste management in China, I collaborated with NGOs and researchers to map the journey of waste from households to treatment facilities. The result is an illustrated infographic used in exhibitions, public talks and school workshops to spark conversations about circular systems.
Speculative design projects and architectural research exploring how we might live together in changing urban environments.
This master's thesis looks at a “ghost city” project in Tianjin and asks what could happen if speculative real estate were re-occupied by those who need housing the most. The proposal turns an unfinished high-rise into a vertical farm combined with affordable housing for migrant workers.
Exploring architecture as a product, this project imagines modular capsule units that can be stacked and rearranged like building blocks. It is both a proposal for compact living in megacities and a metaphor for how people negotiate personal space under pressure.
From live visual recording to comics and zines, I use drawing as a way to listen, think and tell stories together with communities, institutions and organizations.
For events such as BIX Open Day and international forums, I created large-scale visual maps that capture conversations in real time. These drawings help participants see connections, remember key ideas and continue discussions long after the event ends.
