Can Crosswords and Games
Prevent Dementia?

Year: 2025


The New York Times article, “Can Crosswords and Games Prevent Dementia?” explores the idea of whether brain-training games and mentally stimulating activities can help with dementia. The visual identify combines elements of puzzles and games with subtle references to memory and dementia.

ICAN’s annual Mid-Autumn Festival, held on October 11, 2025, aimed to celebrate cultural pride, strengthen intergenerational bonds, and create a fun, educational environment where Vietnamese-American children and families could connect to their roots.  

I was commissioned to design custom t-shirts for the event. In close collaboration with ICAN's event organizers, I led the creative direction and was responsible for the illustration and layout of the final merchandise.

The goal of my design approach was to highlight the spirit of the festival but also helped strengthen community engagement for ICAN’s mission in supporting children and families. My approach included traditional Mid-Autumn Festival elements, such as, lanterns and mooncakes with family-friendly aesthetics to appeal to a diverse audience. The final designs were printed on t-shirts worn by staff and volunteers, as well as reusable tote bags distributed to attendees
