Wendy Chen, Wendy's Subscription Box. Interactive Installation and brand packaging, 2018.

I am a graphic designer focusing on illustrations and interaction design and using visual communication as an analytical tool.   My project Wendy’s Subscription Box is a selection of prints and handcrafted artisanal design items that extended from my six illustrations about my life studying abroad in Melbourne. The six categories are friends, nationality, studying, cooking, weather and travelling, which from my point of view is distinctive or unusual from my own culture to the Melbourne community. My practice is situated between illustrations and interaction design. My aim is to share my personal experiences and to remember this precious memory while looking at the user's different reactions and perspectives through their interactions. I explore social connections and how relationships are built through communication. My practice involves experimenting with various methods including drawing, handcrafting, visual representations, materiality, and learning new software in order to promote public interaction.
