Cover image for Hello Contra✨,
Towards the end of
Hello Contra✨, Towards the end of 2025, this year has been a year of uncertainties and shifts to me. And for the past 4 years, I seem to ask myself this question a lot and even more as time goes on, “where/what/why do I belong?”. It’s a question to both myself as a person and my creative disciplines. I am excited to share something with you today... Introducing APOSTROPHE, the home to creative partnerships, envisioning the world with soulfulness, artistry and unconventionality. We help individuals and organisations to craft identities that belong. This is the most unprecedented step I could ever imagine myself taking so far, and I invite everyone to join us on this journey to APOSTROPHE. APOSTROPHE.WORLD (https://APOSTROPHE.WORLD) I am incredibly grateful to the people who helped and inspired me along the way! Thank you! ❤️

These 6 months I have been slowly working on a more personal project. For the past 4 years, I have embarked on a very unexpected journey and collected the most unexpected experiences that I have ever imagined. Somehow, the unexpected brings expectation, the expectation of a following in time...so what's afters?

Let's talk about the packaging for Aperire, I have chosen to went with a reusable swing-top bottle, the only concern is it's too easy to open if it's on shelves. I have taken the chance to design a tamper-evident seal to ensure the dinks on shelf are unopened. To Open or Not To Open? When You Know, You Know...

Let me share another project for the #shareyourwork challenge!!! (Plus, I just realised today is actually 2 years from the end date of this project, time flies!🤯) This is an editorial project named The Power Of Words, inspired by Balance, a poem by Kae Tempest telling the story of Ambition, Pride, Talent, and Envy. The project embodied an out-of-date, abandoned detective file theme, from the use of kraft paper & cotton-rag paper to evoke the aged look & texture, choice of the typography, typographic effects, to photography that captures the atmosphere of revisiting a long-forgotten case, with a delicate approach to displaying the physical outcome.

One of the most important assets of the Aperire brand, the wordmark. From packaging to campaigns, the Aperire wordmark is crafted with a blend of artistic strokes and refined typography to add a touch of timelessness and sophistication. (And as you can tell from my rough skills, it's my first time doing calligraphy haha😂

When I was developing the Aperire brand, I was thinking...how Aperire should taste like? Then I was like...how about let's make it!? 😂 Along with the brand, I have crafted a recipe that is ingredient-conscious, inspired by the Italian tradition of aperitivo and the art of fermentation. Aperire a non-alcoholic botanical infusion of rice, wild flower honey, assam tea and spices. The recipe has been made & taste-tested by a selected batch of people.  To Open or Not To Open?
