01 404-GEN




Marketing | Digital | 3D


404-GEN is a cutting-edge studio using web3 and AI to create the largest open-source 3D model library, currently over 6 million models and growing. I worked as a 3D Designer, experimenting with their text-to-3D Gaussian splat technology to explore new applications and develop marketing assets. My role involved showcasing this innovation to enhance 404-GEN's presence in the 3D design space.





02 Spectrogram Research Design Project




UX | Digital | Prototype


How can we engage students from low income communities to be engaged with topics of sound science while making it easy for teachers? Spectrogram Hero is a project I worked on to help solve both of these issues with the help of the UCSD Cognitive Science Department.





03 Lamp Kit Design



Product | Physical | 3D
Printing



Why are nice looking lamps so expensive when they serve a single purpose? How can I create lamps affordably for the general public while creating a visually striking design? I explore designing a lamp from scratch using free 3D tools and 3D printing.







04 Dropmate Product




UX | Physical | Human Factors



How can we help Ophthamologists clean and disinfect their tools quickly and efficiently? I supported in the design of a startup in an unrelased product to bring it to life. Viewing this project requires a password.





05 UTYPE



UX/UI | Digital | Mobile


How can we make building a mechanical keyboard easier for the users? UTYPE is an app designed to help you design, buy, and build your next custom mechanical keyboard.





06 Keyblocks: The Modular Keyboard



UX | Physical | Human Factors Prototype

How can we redesign the keyboard experience to be more human and adapt to specialized needs? Keyblocks is a system of keyboard units that can be removed and reattached based on their user.




07 Red Burns Fund Redesign



UX/UI | Digital | Branding

How can we reinvigorate a donation site dedicated to the passing of a beloved community member? The Red Burns Fund Redesign is a project to redesign the web experience for the ITP Red Burns Fund, a charity effort created to honor the late Red Burns.
