Melody is a designer and visual storyteller. Her work is deeply influenced by childhood imagination and “giving life to objects.” She crafts stories from anecdotal observations into an engaging design language for applied and speculative deliverables.
In her work, Melody focuses on how to make visual information more vivid, beyond the static expression of traditional graphic design. Her work often revolves around “interaction”, which is not limited to the interaction between people and screens, but also involves the dialogue between information and perception. Through programming, animation, data visualization and other means, she allows words, images and forms to grow, breathe and transform on the timeline, making design a fluid experience rather than a single visual presentation.
In her creations, she also constantly explores the emotional connection between design and nature and human experience:
In the project "Branch Reorganization", she reorganized the branch structure into a new abstract form using 3D modeling techniques. The natural form is reconstructed in the digital world, presenting a tense but symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. These twisted lines and structures seem to be traces of our struggle in nature, and are also a metaphor for nature surrounding and reflecting human existence.
In the thesis project "Within the fissures", Melody recalled her childhood experience of natural disasters. The project uses "cracks" as a symbol to explore how natural disasters not only change the landscape, but also deeply affect the emotions and psychological state of survivors. She captures the "emotional cracks" brought about by disasters through visual language, making the information tangible, visible, and even resonant.
In the future, Melody hopes to continue to explore the integration of art, technology and experience design, so that design can become a medium to inspire emotion and imagination. Whether it’s transforming abstract data into a rhythmic visual narrative or giving a flat image a sense of touch and time, Melody aspires to create more lifelike expressions in design, allowing information to be “felt” rather than just read.
