About Jona
01


Flora Language School
Brand Identity



Flora Language School is a language school based in New York City. The identity embraces language as a living architecture; flowers and branches are like ever-evolving dialects and expressions that grow in between.

The Robots Font System

Graphic Design, Web Design, Vibe Coding, Branding, Type Design

Kraftwerk is my favorite music band ever since I heard them in 2023. For this audio-initiated project, I designed a modular typeface with three weights—each responding to different frequency ranges (bass, mid, treble) in real-time. The system evolved into a complete brand identity for Kraftwerk's fictional 2026 tour, including an interactive website, posters, and merchandise.

Edges of AileyExhibition Identity Design



The exhibition identity emphasizes a dynamic stage of typography — elements open and close to showcase images. The red theme color echoes both the stage curtain and, in Alvin Ailey’s own words, the memory of blood. The logomark incorporates angles and a sense of pieces coming together, reflecting the collaborative nature of the exhibition (featuring multiple artists and mediums).

Lumen
Service Design, System Design, UIUX



Lumen is a speculative interaction system that explores how personal digital works can be preserved, activated, and redistributed within urban public space. Through NFC-triggered physical nodes and a supporting digital platform, the project transforms private digital assets into shared cultural resources—designed to be accessed, interpreted, and reactivated both during life and beyond.

The Northern Expedition

An AI-driven historical strategy card game that combines generative storytelling with authentic sources such as Records of the Three Kingdoms.

It is selected as one of 10 finalists in the AI Creation Track, and Top 55 finalists out of 1,359 teams overall, in the 2025 Tencent Game Award.

Scroll Garden

Game Design, Game UI, User Experience

This project explores how technology can bring elders a renewed sense of connection and creativity rather than passive consumption. Through research, interviews, and prototyping, I designed an interactive system where older adults use a handheld device (scroll) to “draw” and engage with generative visuals on a TV screen—turning simple gestures and movements into moments of immersive, meaningful play.

Goya Immersive Exhibition
Product Design, UIUX, Experience Design



Our group curated an immersive exhibition centered on the life and work of Francisco Goya, offering a multi-platform visitor experience. The exhibition content was developed through thorough research and careful curation. I was responsible for conducting background research and selecting artworks, curating the exhibition experience, drawing the floor plan and rendering the second exhibition room, as well as designing and writing copy for the on-screen experience.
