Roles: Art Director and Designer

From Chinatown, With Love (FCWL) is our annual mutual aid program in partnership with Abrons Arts Center, and in collaboration with lucky risograph and Midnight Project. By reimagining traditions like red envelope giveaways, FCWL brings together Asian American artists and Chinatown small businesses to combat gentrification and economic challenges through art and community engagement. Grounded in communal care, FCWL transforms individual struggles into a shared commitment to mutual growth and renewal.


This project reimagines the visual language of Chinatown by blending contemporary design with traditional Chinese typography. We developed a modern graphic system that integrates expressive, culturally rooted Chinese characters with bold, contemporary layouts, creating a dialogue between past and present.



By introducing a vibrant color palette, we shift away from conventional visual expectations and establish a fresh, energetic tone. These bright colors act as a visual signal—inviting a new generation to engage with Chinatown while honoring its deep cultural history.



365 Days Calendar is an annual calendar printed by Lucky Risograph. This year we collaborated with three artists and three writers to create special holiday pages throughout the calendar. Each artist highlighted four small businesses in Chinatown, while the writers contributed short texts exploring sixteen Asian seasonal moments and cultural traditions.

Exhibition: Storefronts as Sites of Cultural Resistance

For this year’s edition of From Chinatown, With Love, we transformed the exhibition into a conceptual “FCWL Shop,” inspired by the idea of a 選物店－a curated store.

The challenge was to translate the everyday culture of Chinatown’s small businesses into a gallery setting that could engage wider audiences. The project uses design as a bridge between memory and reinvention, layering contemporary visual language with traditional Chinese characteristics. Bright, festive colors introduce a renewed visual rhythm that invites younger generations to see Chinatown as a living cultural landscape. Everyday objects of street level storefronts are brought into the gallery, reframing the neighborhood’s identity through exhibition.

A Collection by W.O.W. x Mischelle Moy

Everyday Chinatown is a collection of handmade garments inspired by the stories of everyday Chinatown. The collection’s silhouettes build on Chinatown workwear and everyday items — from a quilted vest, to a granny cart, to aprons and an auspicious gourd – the pieces honor the beauty found through the grit and resilience of the neighborhood’s heart and soul: small business owners.

We designed fabric pay homage to Mischelle’s signature technicolor palette. Through the playful use of familiar patterns such as polka dots and argyle, each vignette serves as a window into the abundant scenes of Chinatown businesses.
