Founded, designed, manufactured, and sold a line of acrylic earring products. I marketed, created packaging, and successfully sold a test batch of handmade product.
I created a brand, communicated with a factory to manufacture my products, designed custom packaging, and scaled the business by overseeing everything from creative direction, product development to logistics and order fulfillment.
A biomimetic project designed, tested, and manufactured from initial conceptualization to finished product in three months. Created in the Stanford Product Realization Lab.
With a name that reflects a new "species", this object juxtaposes organic form with non-organic material, pushes materiality of the acrylic, and challenges the view of plastics as "disposable" and worth little redemption.
Interdisciplinary capstone exhibition.
An investigation of the central icon of the Internet Age: the computer monitor. Spaces we inhabit, own, through life and death, the monitor functions as a home, a portal to the world, space, and time. I created a series of objects to call attention and bring to light the usually hidden unseen realities behind common electronic objects. Another artifact that displays what we are willing to sacrifice for knowledge and modern convenience.
