visual storytelling methods to transition complex sustainability data into digestible
formats.
• Speculative Design Sprints: Concept, design, and execute next-generation Project
ReRe prototypes to redirect unused materials into premium accessories for retail
landings.
• Photoshoot Art Direction: Partner closely with Albert Lee and SEED Studio to
manage sustainability photoshoots, plan compositions, gather props, and ensure
high-fidelity outputs for repairability teardowns.
• Events Curation: Curate, prep, and manage physical sustainability displays and
materials for events, including the Taiwan 20th Anniversary and Finance team
