My playground
Welcome to my Playground. Here I share select experiments i have done across design — from quick sketches to speculative prototypes. These are explorations of possibility: raw sparks, unfinished ideas, and moments of play that continue to shape my practice.
Some of these play projects won awards and/or have been exhibited internationally to help facilitate a dialog.
Generated futures with AI (coming soon)
This project explored how AI could imagine new interface patterns. By feeding it product scenarios and constraints, I generated speculative dashboards and widgets — not as polished designs, but as provocations for what enterprise tools might look like in the future.
City canvas
An experiment in using open data as a medium for civic engagement. City Canvas visualized datasets from the San Diego Arts & Culture Commission, transforming numbers into an interactive platform that invited the community to explore and connect with local culture. The project was recognized with the ScaleSD Innovation Award, highlighting its potential to reframe how data can foster civic dialogue and creative participation. This project was a collaboration with a data scientist Michelle Hoogenhout
While the app is no longer functional, you can still follow the project on Instagram to explore art in the region.
Tools of expression
By stripping objects of their function and focusing on form, this experiment transformed mundane tools — from toothbrushes to mixers — into visual artifacts. These were a series of mini experiments. It was a way of asking: how does context change what we see in design?
Art of sound
What if sound could design? Art of Sound is a machine that visualizes audio in real time, creating abstract art pieces unique to each track. Instead of design directing sound, here sound dictates form — revealing new ways to see music.
Originally created using household items. In the image you see is version two of the experiment. This fun project eventually was bought by British American Tobacco for their band activation.
