Hey there! I'm Aura, a visual designer now based in London. I specialise in exploring social issues through graphic media design. My work focuses on the mmarginalised and tries to use design as a medium to reveal the neglected reality. One theme I'm particularly drawn to is the concept of 'out of focus'.
I've noticed that a lot of designs about marginalised groups don't really connect with them, and it's hard to evoke empathy by depicting them too objectively or indifferently.So, I try to bring the 'I' and 'we' perspectives together to strengthen the connection between society and the marginalised.
