Folder designs interfaces, publications, and systems for organizing, encountering, and carrying information forward. We help museums, universities, civic institutions, and others engaged in the stewardship and sharing of knowledge create ways for language, media, and material to surface and endure.
We are interested in what happens to information over time, and how form can reveal the connections that give it meaning. Projects come in a variety of configurations rooted in partnerships that honor the material and its strategic presentation.
The 1871 Memorial Project supports the construction of a physical memorial near the Chinese American Museum to honor the victims of the 1871 Chinese Massacre.

Artist Sze Tsung Nicolás Leong and writer Judy Chui-Hua Chung’s design centers around guardian banyan trees in Sze Yup (四邑) where the first waves of Chinese immigrants to the United States originate.
