Alongside her in-house work, Mei has maintained an independent design practice since 2015, collaborating directly with founders, restaurants, and creative teams to build distinctive brands and experiences from concept through execution.
Her independent work spans brand identity, art direction, packaging, print, digital, environmental graphics, and experience design. She approaches each project as a complete visual world—considering how an identity can extend beyond a logo or graphic system into the spaces, objects, and moments through which people experience a brand.
Across both her independent and in-house practice, Mei is drawn to work that brings together culture, storytelling, and physical experience, creating design that feels considered, memorable, and specific to the people and communities behind it.
