projects & personal work
An ongoing mini-blog for data visualizations, interactives, and
other fun things. So far I've looked the colors of each frame in the
trailers of two different documentaries about the Nxivm cult,
compared the schedules of a Twitter bot and real users, and more!
skills: data visualization, data analysis, web scraping, APIs, web
development, design
delve: history videos
Created (researched, wrote, edited) a video about
"rainmakers" that tried to overcome nature at the turn of the
20th century
(and how their legacy has lived on). Making videos has been one
major focus of my current learning sabbatical, and more are in the
works! I've always loved history and storytelling and will get
sucked into hours of research about niche topics; now I'm using
those strengths to create and tell stories that others can learn
from.
skills: research, condensing large amounts of information into a
story, script writing, graphic and motion design, audio editing, and
lots of video editing (HitFilm Express currently; used Adobe
Premiere in the past)
zest
We created a spice kiosk that uses computer vision to recommend what
college students should add to their food. Ideated, iterated, and
built with a group for a design course.
primary role: front-end development, interface design

imprint
I designed and prototyped an interactive wall for my undergraduate
honors thesis. I ran experiments with my prototype, testing and
understanding the specifics of the physical-control interactions
through user trials. Presented at the 2017 Tangible and Embedded
Interaction Conference (Student Design section) in Yokohama, Japan.
mosaicJS
I created a
web layout framework
inspired by
Masonry
that allows web developers to add “tiles” to an auto-layout grid
while providing specific positions to important tiles.
