a bottle, a moodboard, a low-key meltdown

This isn’t just a thermos.
It’s the sum of my obsession with politics, my innate urge to poke fun, and the post-internet emotional scars — distilled into 950ml of stainless steel.
The design came together during one of those weeks when the world seemed to be boiling over with the arrival of a new U.S. president.
So I decided to “cool things down” in my own studio, with bolero music looping in my head and caffeine running through my veins.
The result? A pastel-orange fever dream: the cartoon portrait of a dictator, a wiggling blonde character, and layers of typography stacked in their own strange rhythm.
It’s not neutral. It’s not “basic.”
Better to be a little crazy than to fade into the background.
I live in Vietnam. My family lives in the U.S.
We used to have fiery arguments about American politics over dinner before they moved there — then made peace with traditonal snacks and fruit from the market.
That tangled affection for a country we can’t stop watching is now printed on this bottle. MAKE AMERICA CHILL AGAN — from a legit Vietnamese.
