Lyra — Pitch Deck Design for an AI-Powered Literacy Platform
Client: Wilson Global Initiative Services: Pitch Deck Design, Visual Storytelling, Brand Illustration Direction Deliverable: 16-slide investor pitch deck
The Challenge
Wilson Global Initiative was raising a $1M seed round for Lyra, an AI-driven literacy game aimed at teaching a billion children to read. The story was strong a founder who started fighting illiteracy at 14, real AI/ed-tech substance behind the product but it needed a deck that could carry that ambition visually: something investors would remember, not just read.
Premium design 🙂

VIETNAM, Y3K — FLORA Museum Challenge
For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I chose the Incense Burner with Dragon Spout, a Vietnamese artifact from the 1st–3rd century in The Met’s collection ( https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/53862 ), and reimagined it through a Y3K lens.
I wanted to connect an ancient object with a familiar image of Vietnam today: a woman riding a scooter. The dragon-shaped incense burner became a futuristic chrome vehicle, while traditional Vietnamese clothing and the conical hat were transformed into synthetic future wear.
I built the entire visual world in FLORA, from the clothing and accessories to the dragon scooter, environments, stills, and final video. Using AI as a world building tool, the project imagines how Vietnamese visual culture might evolve into another timeline while still carrying traces of its past.
Love the direction with this! The references to Vietnamese culture is so unique!
For a food or beverage brand, packaging becomes part of the customer experience.
This sustainable paper cup design was created to bring together a clean brand identity and a more responsible packaging direction without making the sustainability message feel forced.
The visual system is intentionally simple, giving the typography and brand elements enough space to remain recognizable across the cup.
The goal was to create something that could work naturally in a café, takeaway environment or everyday customer interaction while still feeling distinctive.

The idea was simple: make responsible packaging feel like good branding—not a compromise.

Direct Design Branding & Website
Direct Design is a digital-first creative agency built on a simple belief: there’s always a clearer, more direct way forward.
We started this project with just two words: Direct Design, and complete creative freedom.
We explored a lot of narratives around what “Direct” could mean until we landed on something that felt obvious: roads, traffic signs and wayfinding. In the design world, everyone is trying to find a more direct way forward. Better decisions, fewer detours, clearer direction. So we built the brand around that idea.
What we did:
Brand Strategy + Narrative
Brand Identity
3D Design
Web Design + Development
We probably spent way too much time obsessing over details most people will never notice, but that’s also what made this one so fun.
And yes, it’s completely human-made. No AI. Even the 3D was manually built in Blender.
