I have experienced many shifts and jolts on my journey. As a result, I’m capable of examining a subject through different lenses and grow from taking on new challenges.
Growing up in both Taiwan and New Zealand, I find changing my surroundings to be an ongoing inspiration. My studies in political science and graphic design have me valuing both sides of the story. I’m mindful of the content of my work and the context in which it lives. Most importantly, I aspire to explore our human experience and spark positive changes in my design practice.
I’m Jye, pronounced as the letter J. I’m an outlet for thoughts and stories in our society.
