Description

Zoe is honored to receive the HKYDTA Award 2024 and the Outstanding Student Award 2023 from PolyU. Over the past four years, she has collaborated with artists, editors, curators, and agencies, and interned at a branding studio in Spain and the South China Morning Post. Her final year project, "To Save, Saving, Saved," explores information overload and the Attention Economy, encouraging mindful attention in the digital age. Guided by inspiring tutors, Zoe developed strong research and design skills, and contributed to impactful projects like an infographic on Hong Kong’s climate change. Passionate about community design, she created works reflecting local life and mobility. Zoe now hopes to study contemporary art in the UK and continue making a positive impact through design.
