LOVEtv
I love watching amazing opening titles for movies and tv shows and wanted to make my own. So I did. For the self-driven senior studio, I created a hypothetical tv station called LOVEtv, which features high-budget shows.
Sanguin
A family opens a convenient store in lower east side of Manhattan. But they start getting unwanted attention when people begin to learn they are selling human blood out of their back fridge.

Dynamic Music
In an experiment of alternative way of seeing music, I designed a system that explores colors to represent music. This system allows to visualize individual notes and its octave, length, and volume.
I used Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as a demo of what this system looks like.
Dozen Cupcakes
This was a self-driven project I worked on with my dear friend Reina Takahashi. Dozen Cupcakes, a Pittsburgh's local cupcake shop, was kind enough to let use use their cupcakes.

Soyjoy
The rebrand/redesign project led me to look at many tofu companies and their designs. Although very common to vegetarians and Asian households, tofu is still unfamiliar to many. My goal was to create a brand that spoke to both tofu eaters/vegetarian and regular consumers through design.

- 6-12 : Packaging
**I realize a multi-billion dollar corporation called Soyjoy exists already. This was a student project and I chose the name without the knowledge of the existing company.
Commercials
Focusing on the fact that all Soyjoy products are made of real soy beans, these commercials show the process of turning soy beans into soy milk and soy ice cream.
Look at Me
This book tells the stories of five people through the voices of everyday house objects. The objects talk about what people do in their home when they think nobody is watching. These very intimate and sometimes raunchy tales were gathered from various interviews and online forums.

Barcrawl
We were assigned to gather information of our choice and design an artifact around it. I decided to take some of my friends on a barcrawl. This is the first issue of Carson Street Barcrawl Mag.
Stereotype
In an exhibit that juxtaposes two different sides of stereotypes, I explored where stereotypes come from, what it means to a person being stereotyped, and how it's seen by other people.
Furniture
I cannot say I am a master furniture designer/maker. But I enjoy it very much. These are some of my furniture.
