Co-Designing with Tibetans
LDONGTSOG needed a tourist brochure that introduces their cultures. After carefully taking notes and participating in the eco-tourism as an assistant, I came up with the idea of this interactive activity book for children.
I sythesized the interviews with the villagers, and created a moscot based on the endangered village at Kehe.
