[Open for Fortune]
Pop-Up Book Design

Software: Adobe Illustrator, Figma

This project began from my personal relationship with anxiety, doubt, and the small joys that helped me navigate them. As a child, cracking open a fortune cookie and discovering a simple message felt magical — as if the words were written just for me in that exact moment. Over time, I realized that “fortune” isn’t limited to cookies, but can be found in everyday gestures: a friend’s kind text, a stranger’s smile, or a song playing at the right time.

Inspired by the “yellow car theory” — the idea that once you start looking for something, you’ll notice it everywhere — this book is a collection of gentle fortunes and affirmations designed to remind us that reassurance and meaning surround us when we choose to see them. Each page offers a small message, like a fortune waiting to be opened, for moments when readers need comfort, clarity, or encouragement.
