LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

Memory Fair

The archive of memories that Memory Fair entails is derived from a culmination of personal stories told by participants between the ages of 20 to 30 years old in the form of a research study. From asking questions about the sensorial perceptions felt, the important philosophy and wisdom learned, and memorable quotes or dialogue brought to mind, Memory Fair encourages viewers to revisit the past and to re-live memories that were thought to be never experienced again."

About the designer

Hi, there! I'm Jessica Kwan—a sports enthusiast and a graphic designer! While I like to spend my days experimenting with various mediums, my creative niche is to story-tell narratives through digital design and 2D/3D motion graphics that speak for itself with conviction and visceral emotion. It is my dream to become a visual director behind sports campaigns so that I can convey inspiring messages to others— be it fans, women in sports, or youth.

As a believer in the mantra, “go big, or go home”, I strive to make a bold impact in all my designs.

Analog or Digital?

Both—I believe the best designs can often come from a conflation of digital and analog processes.
