Designing calm
in a chaotic world.
I’m Andy Ou. Through Autumn Leaf 秋叶 I design brands, packaging, websites and motion with the quiet restraint of blue-and-white porcelain. Simple, intentional, made to last.
Inspired by the timeless elegance of Chinese vases and pottery, every project starts from one belief: true beauty is simple, yet profound.
● Available for freelanceQuiet work, made with intent.
Designing calm in a chaotic world 。
What the work does, and what it refuses to do. No noise, no excess, nothing trendy for its own sake.
Harmony
Balanced design, where form follows function in quiet agreement.
Tranquil
Calm that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt.
Timeless
Rooted in enduring values, not fleeting trends.
Serene
Simple beauty that leaves room for reflection.
Every project, in one place.

Rooted in porcelain 瓷
I’m Andy Ou, a digital designer of Chinese heritage based in Johannesburg. Autumn Leaf is my studio, a place where tradition shapes modern living.
Years ago my father walked me through a museum of porcelain. The blue-and-white glaze, the calm confidence of a vase that needs no ornament. It never left me.
Today that feeling guides every brief: muted tones, organic forms and refined craft, applied to identities, packaging, interfaces and motion that stay calm while the world gets louder.
