Poker Hall of Fame

Identity for the Poker Hall of Fame based on a stacked card motif. The flexible, modular system starts from a mathematical foundation that becomes increasingly adaptive and playful through its expansive world, much like the game of professional poker.

Degree Project: Becoming Hatsune Miku

A deep dive into the crowd-sourced community of Hatsune Miku, a voice synthesizer branded as a virtual pop idol, and what it can teach us about the power of hybrid physical/virtual and individual/collective identity to mobilize rigid imagery. At its core, this project is a celebration of a digital community as strange and unique as the contemporary landscape it perseveres through.

Milkman

Publication created from Cao Fei’s Milkman (2005) that seeks to translate the look, atmosphere, and experience of watching the film into publication form. Milkman is a pseudo-documentary fiction exploring the mundane realities and escapist fantasies of the working class in China.

Knoll Workplace Research Library

Identity based on the ideas of modularity and divisions of space for Knoll’s workplace research division, which publishes articles investigating the physical and social conditions of the modern workplace environment.

The identity’s modular logo appears in three central arrangements that play with the motif of lines as movable partitions and express the library’s wide-ranging, innovative research.

Journal

A book of my nightly journal entries written in strands of shed hair shaped into letterforms on handmade bioplastic pages. Long-term sleep deprivation from school, life, and health issues has most notably led to the increased fallout of my hair and memory decline. I keep a journal every night before I sleep to practice remembering and preserve my present memories for the future.

I made the bioplastic pages by hand using supermarket ingredients and a stove. I supplied the hair from naturally shed strands off of my bedroom floor.
