Curiosity in Practice

I enjoy being a jack of many trades and find any and every opportunity to learn more. Most of the time, I learn new techniques to make my concepts a reality.

Acting

Performing in front of a crowd of a few and hundreds, I've starred and supported many productions from rooms to stages.

I learnt how to bind books to present my VisCom redesigns of an asthma inhaler, inspired by various field trips around Los Angeles.

(I do love a good stop motion animation. It's one of my favorite ways to make storyboards from sketches.)

Ceramic Printing

I did some exploratory R&D into 3D printing ceramics to make ceramic jewelry for Rani. I'd love to be able to test further once I get access to required equipment.

Content Creation

Recording events into short form media is a lot more work than it seems. I've filmed and edited clips for storyboards, interviews, events and travel.

Disco Tiling

I had to 3D print a scale model of my head for DreamAir prototyping. But after its use it felt incomplete, so naturally I covered in in meticulously placed mirror tiles and plaster.

Letterpress Printing

I had the opportunity to use the machines in the Archetype Press in a weekend workshop. I'm a big fan of any hands-on kind of making so this was amazing.

Paper Making

I hated how much paper got wasted after weekly crit so I reused it and turned it into a textured paper, that I use as supplies for business cards.

I used this type of mending to fill up the once fashionable holes in my 2016 denim overalls. It took 2 months of hand sewing.

One of my first projects using the design process was to make small robot. I wired the front sensor to tap into the second battery for an extra boost
