Jordan Avery is a designer and writer based in Portland, Oregon, where the steady rain and strong coffee keep ideas flowing. Over the past decade they've worked across product design, illustration, and the occasional zine, always drawn to the small details that make everyday things feel a little more human. When a project lets them blend words and visuals, that's where they're happiest. Outside of work, Jordan can usually be found tending an overambitious balcony garden, hunting down the city's best dumplings, or getting pleasantly lost on weekend hikes. They believe good work comes from curiosity, generosity, and a willingness to start before you feel ready — and they're always up for a conversation about typography, trail snacks, or whatever they're currently overthinking.

Shantou University Temple

I have no idea what this is called, but on the other side of a lake behind Shantou University is this amazing temple. It’s being constructed using traditional techniques, and with donations from the local community. The ornamentation on the roof is all hand-painted porcelain.
