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.

Walking in the Street

"Walking in the Street" is a textual world I created to document the inspirations I find while walking.

The inspiration comes from observing often-overlooked things on the streets of Boston and the thoughts that flash through my mind while walking. These thoughts are often spontaneous and private, making them difficult to record in everyday life. Therefore, I transformed objects on the street into letters, allowing them to carry the visual, auditory, and mental perceptions I experience while walking, creating a unique way of documenting these experiences.
