Recipient of a C2Award and Adobe Design Achievement Award, Persimmons is an interactive book translating a poem into art through linguistic analysis and code. Words taken from each passage of Li-Young Lee’s poem, “Persimmons”, are run through Processing; the reader’s interaction with the book transforms the text’s phonetic structures into generated patterns.

An experimental publication (160 pages, 5” X 7.5”) which explores the border as a divisive line from the dual perspectives of humans and machines. As images of different locations become distilled into a singular gestural stroke, losing specificity and familiarity, the book is a speculative archive as well as a challenge to the arbitrariness in which we lay claim to our borders.

Exhibition graphics and online degree show displaying work by CalArt’s 2021 graduated MFA cohort in Art, Photography & Media, and Art & Technology. The design of the digital site, which acts as documentation of the physical show held at Tin Flats, Los Angeles, draws upon the colon as a visual and linguistic signifier of connection, and of expansion.

36 Days of Type is an annual open call inviting creatives to share their view on the letters and numbers from our alphabet. My 2020 series was inspired by the concept of letters entangled in dialogue, evolving pre-existing letterforms into completely new visual outcomes.

BUCK x Living Room


Living Room was designed as a high-end space in Los Angeles, with luxury recording studios, libraries, and lounges, to become the premium, global destination of music exploration and art discovery. Working along with BUCK’s team (CD: Camille Chu, AD: Emily Simms, Sr Designer: Abbie Winters), I helped build off of an existing logotype to develop an extensive brand system, guidelines, and member’s book showcasing the classic elegance of Living Room.

A redesign of FLAT Journal’s website, a digital platform for critical texts and contemporary experiments within media arts. Inspired by the history of skeuomorphism in early computer graphics, the website creates a new representation of editorial layouts for the browser. Different sections layer over each other on the landing page, creating a flat landscape of pages which are shuffled through to be read. Development by: Chandler Mcwilliams, Dalena Tran
