Design experimentations with different digital and physical mediums

Animations

Using the magic of Adobe After Effects to bring ideas to life.

  • Looping animation

  • Animated lyric video

Game design

I participated as a designer in the GC Game Jam, a 3-day cross-college game hackathon. We won the Silver Award for our final presentation and demo.

Using Unity to build an arcade game set in space:

Web design

As the web team lead in USC’s premiere creative agency Innovative Design at USC, I managed 4 UX designers and web developers and led client communication to develop a v2.0 website for their digital platform. We delivered:

  • Mood boards, high-fidelity web prototype, and working website

  • 3 rounds of client feedback sessions and design iterations

Generative art

Using languages like p5.js to create computer-generated algorithmic art to visually represent data.

I coded an interactive platform where users are able to comfortably explore music. They can isolate and manipulate each element that makes up the track (e.g. voice, bass, piano) to learn about how each contributes to the overall composition.

To explore the relationship between how I express myself through fashion and factors like color preference, location, and season/weather, I documented my outfit everyday for 5 months and coded a website that visually represents trends in the aggregate of “color palettes,” which are comprised of 5 key colors extracted from each daily photo capture.

Physical product design

When I am not prototyping, illustrating, or animating, I also build physical products in the makerspace. I used laser cutting and engraving to design a clock inspired by ancient Chinese culture and art.

Storytelling

Helping companies and start-ups tell stories through captivating pitch decks and interactive prototypes.

Mobile design

Building hi-fi mockups and working prototypes in Swift code for mobile design and development.

Marketing & social media

Designing social media campaigns and multimedia assets to help brands and ideas reach a broader and more accurate target audience base, including for USC’s only independent student newspaper, the Daily Trojan.
