Regen

Regen introduces a graphic system where living root structures function as both visual language and material substrate. Instead of printing on inert surfaces, communication emerges through controlled biological growth. Each artifact operates simultaneously as a visual message, living organism, and biodegradable outcome. By aligning legibility with ecological cycles, the project reframes graphic production as a regenerative process, proposing an alternative model where communication evolves, transforms, and reintegrates into natural systems rather than generating waste.

Vitality Family Garden is a small indoor compost bin designed to process household kitchen waste. Earthworms placed inside the box eat food residues and turn them into natural fertiliser. The fertiliser is then used to grow vegetables in small planting pots. An LED planting lamp supports plant growth indoors, and its lighting modes are selected with buttons. The product is not automated, so composting and planting are completed by the user. Vitality Family Garden reduces kitchen odour and returns food waste to useful life.

Low-Carbon Life

Low-Carbon Life is a mobile application created to explain low-carbon living through interactive 3D scenes. The application uses simulated reality to show a city affected by pollution. Users link a real travel card and earn green energy by choosing green transport and joining daily emission reduction activities. Green energy is then used to plant virtual trees and improve the scene, and can also be exchanged for gifts. Clear data charts present the results. The aim is to explain carbon peak and carbon neutrality in a simple and intuitive way.
