This year, Collins is collaborating with Jun-Yi from The Animal Project as one of the inspiring local designers to feature in the 2023 collection. The Animal Project is a social enterprise that aims to bring to our customers beautifully curated quality life-style products using artwork drawn by persons with special needs. The illustrations on this diary was done by Jun-Yi, who loves to draw a myriad of animals in vicarious situations. He engineers social interactions among his animals - which is something he rarely initiates with. With just a black marker pen, he draws each animal intuitively without any hesitation, and each carries a different expression.
