Outside of my day job, I work on various freelance design projects:
Transmedia storytelling in XR
Interested in the intersection between the physical built environment and the digital world, I love designing and prototyping for experience in AR and VR.
Computational Design
Fluent in Python, JavaScript, and Grasshopper, I use programming and scripting to facilitate design processes and create parametric designs.
3D modelling and rendering
Trained as an architect, I am skilled in various 3D modeling softwares such as Rhinoceros, Blender, and the e2e rendering pipeline with animations.

The fictional landscape of togetherness
Collaborated with team of artists @ ACT
A project responses to the sense of alienation during pandemic. By collaging, montaging and stitching assets including photogrammetry models, point clouds, spatial audio, the project create a virtual landscape people can walk, jump, or crawl through, and leave traces behind.
Funded by MIT Transmedia storytelling initiative

Constructing Virtual Exhibitions with Multimodal Interactions
A thesis explores constructing virtual art exhibitions with an object-oriented approach and templates customized to show different type of information related to art pieces. Two case studies were designed and developed in Oculus for the thesis, one based on the Asian Art collection at MFA in Boston, and the other one based on the Art of Memory exhibition.

Art of Memory
Collaboration with Charisse Foo
Sited in four Italian towns that have been indelibly changed by natural disasters, this project explores the notion of architectural memory. Across Pompeii, Catania, Poggioreale, and Gibellina, each town embodies a unique approach towards destruction and preservation.
Made possible by Robert James Eidlitz Travel Fellowship
Exhibited in NYC and Boston, and published in book form
