Pitch Deck→

How might we encourage intercultural empathy and understanding of cultural cuisines among children through a metaverse experience? We conceptualized a metaverse game experience for Gen Alpha where players explore antholes, forage ingredients to create cultural dishes, encouraging intercultural empathy in cultural cuisines.

I led the creative direction including concept, logo, naming, designed Ant-Alien characters in Blender and integrated as avatars into the Unreal Engine 5 environment. Prototyped gameplay using high-fidelity visuals exhibiting the features for the live demo pitch reel, which I video edited in Premiere Pro.

Collaborated in a multidisciplinary team of 4, including UX/UI & interaction designers, illustrator, and 3D designers, from conceptual ideas to design rationale to high-fidelity designs.

Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Infographic (Fall 2022)
I started my research by looking at anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents. Initially, I wanted to focus on anti-Asian hate crimes in the Bay Area or California as there are many Asians here, but after extensive research, I found that there was no specific data about it; so I decided to expand out across the U.S. My map takes a look at anti-Asian hate crimes reported to police across the U.S. in the largest cities from 2019 to 2020. The typeface used is Gotham Narrow, which is a slightly condensed sans-serif that is space efficient and legible at small sizes.

Am I Real? Zine (2023)
Produced at Seoul National University for a 3-day zine workshop with Shin Shin @ SNU x CCA | Seoul Study Abroad July 2023→

What if the book was like a body that contains memories? The body contains stories that are not necessarily depicted through words but rather visuals. From found books into collages into an accordion-style zine enclosed in a sleeve case, this project explores the process of gathering information from the world around us and recalling fragments of what's left of the memory, transforming its original context to reveal a new sense of subject matter through the new creation of a small zine.
