I was always encouraged to embrace creativity, sparking my early fascination with shapes and colors. As a child, I often asked myself, “What if colors could speak, and shapes could move?” I aim to create innovative designs that captivate attention and leave a lasting impression. Using shapes and colors, I evoke emotions and bring out characteristics that tell a deeper story beyond the surface. I approach each project with a fresh, imaginative perspective, blending creativity with precision. My goal is always to bring individuality and personality to every design, tailored to spark curiosity and meaningful conversation.

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!

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.
