Nammi’s Mommy is a series of pop-up picture books that seek to provide support towards caregivers in discussing concepts surrounding incarceration with young children of incarcerated parents, in a simplified and developmentally-suitable manner. The books explain the rehabilitation process to the children, and can also be used as an aid for caregivers to navigate these conversations with them. Through interactive visuals, Nammi’s Mommy hopes to better the children’s understanding and awareness level.
It also aims to shed a more positive light towards concepts surrounding incarceration as an attempt to challenge existing stigma and stereotypes attached. This project hopes to ease experiences of families caring for young children facing parental incarceration today and in the future.
Information about Singapore’s creative industries are, in general, not readily accessible. While it differs from industry to industry, most of the creative industries are not well-documented, researched or even publicised. This often leads to misconceptions about these industries and what a career in these fields entails. Thus, the idea behind ‘We, the Creatives of Singapore’ is to “demystify” the creative industries in Singapore and to allow the wider public to have a better understanding of a career in a creative industry.
Volume one of the series focuses on Singapore’s graphic design industry, taking note of the present state of the industry and serving as a reflection of how far the design scene, as well as how society’s perception of design has progressed over the decade.

言(language)＋葉 (leaves)＝言葉 (spoken word) explores how words and nature can be used as forms of expression. The project uses waka poetry as inspiration, studying the words and meanings of the poems written up to a thousand years ago, and visualizes them into illustrations that aim to transcend time and language. According to the Kokinshu compilation of poems, waka poetry is that which flows from the poet’s heart through contact with beauties of nature or events of human life. These words intrigue all kinds of interpretations and meanings intended or not, by the poets.
This project is a personal interpretation of those words – visually and through translation of language, and a method of expression to convey the possible nuances intended by the poets. The illustrations and editorial aim to stimulate the imagination and emotions of the viewer, such that even without an understanding of the language or contextual knowledge of the culture, they are able to form their personal interpretations of the original waka poetry.
