Space Playground is an interactive environment where users manipulate planets through simple gestures. Each planet changes size and movement in real time, turning physics into a playful, reactive system. The project explores how small interactions can create dynamic, unexpected behaviors. Alien-like audio elements bring a strange, otherworldly tone to the experience, making the universe feel alive and unfamiliar.

This project shows one week of NYC 311 complaints using a circular ring system. I focused on top four issues: Noise, Heat/Hot Water, Illegal Parking, and Water System. Each ring marks one day. Each segment in the ring grows based on the number of complaints. The form makes patterns easy to see. Noise stays high across the week. Water System rises sharply on certain days. The goal is to show how daily concerns shift and repeat in clear visual steps.

This project visualizes NYC complaints data across multiple boroughs. Each point represents a resident's report on issues such as noise, traffic, or safety. Color differentiates the type of complaints, while shapes identify each category. The visualization shows how concerns vary by location, revealing patterns in how communities experience their surroundings. It reflects how data can turn everyday reports into insight about urban life and public attention.

This project explores Christmas through coding and print. Circles shift in size, color, and placement to suggest ornaments, lights, and play. Printed on transparent paper, each sheet overlaps to form layers that echo how childhood memories of Christmas build and change over time. The system repeats one idea in many ways, showing how variation and consistency shape memory.

I used Claude and ChatGPT to help me with the code. My goal was to create a brat-style effect for the phrase “Design is Brat,” using Charli XCX’s signature green color.

This exercise explores planets and how their size shifts based on your finger movements. It highlights the relationship between touch, scale, and visual feedback. For next week, I plan to try something different by combining music using Strudel to create music and experimenting with my hand interactions to alter the beat and build a unique, playful sound experience.

This project maps NYC complaint data to show how daily issues shape urban life. Each point represents a resident report on noise, traffic, or safety. Color and shape systems distinguish complaint types, revealing how concerns vary by borough. The visualization turns data into a reflection of community experiences.

This project uses NYC complaint data from different boroughs. Each point represents a report made by resident about issues such as noise, traffic, or safety. I used color to separate the different types of complaints and shapes to distinguish categories. The goal is to show how these complaints vary by location. You see how data reflects daily urban life and the concerns that shape each community.

This project builds an interactive particle simulation. Circles move independently and shift between four states: matte, stain, glossy, and plasma. Each state depends on velocity, energy, and position within the canvas. Rules control collisions, energy flow, and color changes. Parameter controls, debug modes, and state analysis let you test outcomes. The modular design adapts to studies in particle, physics, social systems, and AI. The project works as both a learning tool for conditional programming and a platform for exploring emergent systems.

Choose a short piece of text in your preferred language. It can be a poem, a quote, an excerpt from your diary, or any other form of writing. The text should be personal, poetic, or culturally meaningful to you, serving as a manifesto or statement that reflects your values and beliefs. Collect visual and material inspirations (typography, print experiments, manifestos), and try to recreate them in p5.js Editor!
