180 Church is an East Asian Christian community in Downtown Manhattan, NYC. The church regularly organizes small group fellowships and large-scale community events, and I was commissioned to design graphics and promotional materials for these initiatives.
In 2022, I contributed to “2econd Chances,” an event focused on mental health awareness among East Asian youth in America. Sponsored by local mental health organizations, Asian restaurants, and neighboring churches, the event attracted over 200 attendees and featured guest speakers, local Asian food, and a hands-on care package station.

I led the social media campaign for the event, which attracted over 200 attendees. My process involved researching, pitching, and creating a series of Instagram posts that promoted the event’s sponsors and merchandise.
I proposed a scrapbook-inspired aesthetic to make the visuals feel more personal and relatable to younger audiences. The carousel format helped reinforce a cohesive, single “page” look while also boosting engagement. The concept was well-received by the team and adopted as the main creative direction for the campaign.
In addition to designing the posts, I also directed and curated the photography featured in them.
fellowship recruitment
I designed recruitment materials for 180 Church’s small group fellowships. Each year, I developed a new aesthetic in collaboration with the outreach director, incorporating a hand-drawn style into posters, flyers, and social media posts. This approach added a friendly feel to the designs, helping them resonate with students and young professionals.
