DESIGN AND CODE


Web Design & Creative Coding

On Punctuations
Website design and programming, 2021

Punctuations is a form of art that is universally understood with modifications and simple translations. We use punctuations both grammatically and to reproduce the rhythms of speech. 
Gertrude Stein, an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector, wrote about her perspectives of viewing different punctuations: some are interesting, and some are uninteresting. Inspired by her essay On Punctuations, I've crafted a web-based reading experience for readers to delve into and explore.
The Best Procrastinator
Website design and programming, 2023

Have you ever wondered if there's a website that not only lets you procrastinate but also delves deep into the reasons and emotions behind it?

The Best Procrastinator is a web experience that allows users to participate in endless procrastination. It explores procrastination cognitions through positive emotion affirmations and examines the possibility to approach procrastination through emotion management.

The NYC Dream
Website design and programming, 2022

New York experiences a high influx of people, drawn by the allure of the NYC Dream. Yet, many are unaware of how their presence unintentionally transforms the city's landscape. Beyond the glittering lights and towering skyscrapers, there's an undercurrent of change, often displacing longstanding residents and altering the cultural fabric of neighborhoods. This project is not just a mere visualization; it dives into my interpretation of the multifaceted phenomenon of gentrification in NYC, aiming to shed light on both its allure and its consequences.
A Bagel A Day 
Website design and programming, 2023

You’ve probably heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” These days, everyone’s constantly busy—whether it's with work, school, or socializing, there’s always something going on.

But a bagel a day? That could bring some chill and happiness to your life.
