From compost to couture, where banana peels meet bold patterns in unexpected harmony.

From ideogram to design, each character finds new life on wearable objects—tote bags, apparel, and accessories that merge storytelling with visual delight. What began as a study in symbolic language evolved into a vibrant collection of eccentric merchandise, where meaning meets material in unexpected ways.

This project started as a book about an octopus’s memories, which is curious, emotional, and full of movement. I later designed sweatshirts using tentacle motifs from the story. The merch adds a playful touch and helps bring the book to life. It works well as a gift set or launch item, letting readers wear part of the story.

A typeface born from nature, which is woven with vines, flowers, and swirling organic forms. Originally designed as a typographic exploration, it evolved into bold embroidery for tote bags, turning letters into living textures. Each glyph is meticulously crafted, offering both visual elegance and tactile depth. With its elaborate detail and expressive style, this typeface holds potential for collaboration with high-end brands seeking poetic identity and design that speaks through form.
