Design Process

The project began when Indira Ardolic started a conversation of how it felt to be gay.

Although Indira was the only person in our team who belonged to the LGBT community, the rest of us felt emotionally connected to this topic.

Back in China, my best friend at high school was a lesbian. I witnessed how she suffered from the fear of being different and struggled with the pressure from family. This experience gave me the urge to do something for the community.
