Studio Projects:

Sandy's Dream Closet -Gap X Sandy Liang:
Gap is partnering with New York-based designer Sandy Liang on a limited-edition collection of women's and kids' apparel . Rooted in shared nostalgia, the collaboration merges Gap’s timeless heritage with Liang’s signature aesthetic. Inspired by Sandy’s own memories of growing up with Gap, the collaboration is brought to life through an imaginative short film, "Sandy's Dream Closet," animated by celebrated visual artist Annie Choi. Centering on a street in New York City's Lower East Side above her father’s Cantonese restaurant, Congee Village, the film illustrates a dreamscape of a young Sandy Liang as she imagines the fashion possibilities of the future, with the Gap × Sandy Liang collaboration representing her ultimate vision of self-expression.

Kariba:
KARIBA is a fantasy-adventure graphic novel inspired by the mythology and history surrounding the construction of one of the largest dams ever built in southern Africa. The world of Kariba is one in which history and fact are fused with mythology and legend. A world where the laws and rules are bent by magic and the river is as much a character as it is a force of nature. The trailer was made by Minds Eye Creative and it serves as a proof of concept for the look and tone of Kariba.

Twende:
Twende is a pangolin, which is the slowest-moving animal in the Savannah. His belief that 'life is about the journey, not the destination' is at odds with his job as a boda boda driver in the busy, fictional African city of Milima.
