Lucy Ye is a Graphic Designer from Hangzhou(CN), currently based in Boston.

Her practice combines a “take it easy" openness with structured, verb-led experimentation, exploring how everyday actions and tools shape visual communication. Working across typography, publication design, motion graphics, and interactive media, she creates participatory and performative systems that translate physical action into visual and collective experience.

A book bag

Publication
2025




This research book is a collection of articles that inspired me throughout this semester, centered around the topics of books, performance, expression, publishing, and typography.

Inspired by the article Wearing is Publishing is Reading, the book’s binding explores the idea of the book as both a readable object and a wearable accessory. Designed to be lightweight and hand-held🤳, it can be comfortably read while walking. Bound with rubber bands and equipped with a carrying strap, it transforms into a wearable book bag, merging reading with mobility and everyday wear as a casual, on-the-go form of publishing.
