As a member of Seattle's premier lion dance troupe, Mak Fai, I created a series of designs, as well as videos, for the team.

Established by Grandmaster Mak Hin Fai in 1974, Mak Fai Kung Fu Dragon & Lion Dance Assn. is Seattle's premier lion dance troupe, performing hundreds of shows year-round. Highlighting members of Mak Fai, we learn the importance of martial arts and lion dancing, as well as the culture and community behind it. Through these interviews, we see lion dancing as a tool to teach Asian American youth the importance of preserving tradition, appreciating culture, and building community.
With the collective help from my teammates, these videos showcase our kung fu, lion, and dragon dancing skills!

MHF KF&LD Official Logo:
To preserve the intricate details within each lion, I converted the images into graphic elements, making sure to respect the craft and culture surrounding lion dancing, and to set Mak Fai's logo to higher tier of graphic representation. Combining calligraphy done by Quan Tan, the logo was then finalized with a circular seal. I then made an associated logo for Mak Fai members who attend Garfield High School, Garfield Lion Dance Team.
