Communication Design | Graduate of PolyU SD (Communication Design)"Wayfinding design is vital for a city as complex as Hong Kong. Imagine the chaos and confusion if there were no signs at Hong Kong International Airport. Once a building is constructed, it may stand for 50 years or more, and the wayfinding system within it will shape people's daily experiences throughout that time."
After earning his Higher Diploma in Visual Communication from the Hong Kong Design Institute in 2022, Henry pursued a degree in Communication Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, graduating in 2024. For his final-year project, The Seamless Experience of Hong Kong's Integrated Transport, he reimagined the visual identity of the city’s public transportation system. Over the course of nearly a year, Henry unified the design language across services such as the MTR, Star Ferry, and various bus companies, aiming to provide locals and tourists with a more cohesive, user-friendly wayfinding and riding experience.
Now working in the wayfinding design department of an architecture firm, Henry continues to nurture his deep passion for signage. Beyond researching global wayfinding case studies, he enjoys exploring local neighbourhoods and malls, documenting and analysing signage systems. For Henry, even communities that predate formal wayfinding design offer valuable lessons worth studying. During his time at HKDI, he spent six months as an exchange student at a Swiss art school, where he explored local pictogram and signage, culminating in a photo album titled A Signs Journey.
Henry plans to further his expertise by working with two European companies, based in London and Amsterdam respectively. Both cities, renowned for their exemplary transportation signage, are sure to provide him with invaluable insights and inspiration.
