Case Studies
Mic Mac Moe
Mic Mac Moe is a package design project that combines the game Tic Tac Toe into a macaron box. Many macaron packages are aesthetic, but they don't have much use after all the macarons are eaten, which creates a lot of waste. Mic Mac Moe is a creative solution that combats less waste while keeping the aesthetic nature of macaron boxes; it functions as a Tic Tac Toe board after all the macarons are consumed.
The box for Mic Mac Moe is primarily used as a macaron box for up to nine macarons. There are a total of twelve macarons, each inspired by the Chinese Zodiacs.

Directory Typeface
Directory is a variable font created for wayfinding systems in malls. Visually impaired individuals may have trouble reading text on directories because the text can be fairly small. Directory hopes to solve this issue by interpolating its size depending on the viewer's reading distance. The further the viewer, the bolder the font will be, and vice versa.
Directory is a variable font with nine different weights: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold, and Black.
