In between

about the project

IN BETWEEN is my thesis book, which brings together projects developed throughout my graduate studies and frames them as an evolving design process. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, the book organizes the work through a color-coded system—red, yellow, and green—representing different stages of development: beginning, in progress, and moving forward.

Each project is presented through both outcome and process, emphasizing how ideas shift over time through making, testing, and reflection. This structure allows the book to function not only as a documentation of work, but as a visual system that reveals progression, uncertainty, and transformation.

By combining editorial design, sequencing, and visual markers, the project reflects my broader inquiry into design as an in-between condition—where meaning is continuously constructed between intention and result, past experience and present context.
