London Lord Mayor's Show
The Lord Mayor's Show is one of the most popular celebration in London. Each year Hong Kong government works closely with the designer Jane Ripley, and together they create amazing floats to represent Hong Kong culture. I worked as an assistant to Jane for two years and was involved in props hiring, decoration, float operation and atending the performers.

The Fountain,
Divided
I worked with two other designers and a choreographer to create a short contemporary performance.
Performers dressed up as statues express their desires to come to life and attempt to achieve so through various interactions with a piece of "human skin" (latex).

Artist in Resident
"Artist In Resident" (a Department in my Secondary School) allowed me to join in as a team and work closely with friendly, open-minded and talented staff. Through participating in summer projects, designing for folders, banners and leaflets, gallery floor planning and helping with canteen design, I was able to build up my portfolio to a very great extent in which I also benefited in terms of knowledge, skills and techniques which would definitely help with my future pursuit of education and career.
