place they live in. Served fresh on different paper textures to distinct each

Photographs were self-taken on multiple tours of Bukit Timah.
Produce explores multiple speciality grocery stores; Hawkers admits a visual diary; & Cafes features an interview with Lee Li Ping, founder of Sogurt at its flagship store, KARA Cafe. Through the interactions with grocery store owners, sitting on green hawker seats and the conversation with Ms Lee, I was convinced that the town makes a person, and the people make the town.

Type layout was derived from the vision of letters being held by chopsticks, working together to form a cohesive word form. This is applied on the die-cut coasters, typographic poster, and the covers of the publication.
