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.

Shuttlecock Kicks



Experimental Typeface, Motion
2024
This project takes the traditional Chinese folk sport of “shuttlecock kicking” as its starting point, exploring how to visualize, structure, and translate everyday physical movements into graphic language. Through observation and analysis of 14 shuttlecock kicking movements, I have adopted “body verbs” as the core of the design, approaching the subject from aspects such as movement names, rhythmic relationships, and participation methods (solo/duo/group), to establish a system that explores the relationships between physical movement, linguistic naming, and visual expression.
