Independent Shop (2025)

I had gotten questions over the years from my social media following about whether or not I’d be willing to start selling my art physically, and in the summer of 2025, I finally committed to it.

For my shop, I:

Illustrated and formatted designs for acrylic keychains, stickers, and postcards
Worked with manufacturers overseas to produce the physical merchandise
Independently packed and shipped orders to customers with over $600 in revenue within one week of opening
Used online tools such as Big Cartel and PirateShip to set up the independent store and get orders sent safely and efficiently to customers across the U.S. and internationally
Managed and calculated domestic & international shipping costs in order to ensure customers pay the most appropriate price
Self-promoted and advertised my shop on social media

I learned a lot from this experience, including that time management is always key, but that I should trust myself to get things done (before spiraling into a panic over deadlines). I am looking forward to opening again once I have the time!

Little Star Lab (2026)

My friend Isra had started working on the final project for her studies in film and asked me if I would be interested in helping her develop the project’s branding, and I was more than happy to do so!

Isra wanted something flexible, yet defining. Thus, in the process of designing the logos for Little Star Lab, I:

Did TONS of sketching... I wish I kept even half of them!
Had a lot of brainstorming talks with Isra about the themes and goals of the film project
Survived a lot of trial and error using image trace in Illustrator to transfer my design from a sketch in procreate to a vector image
Learned so much about creating through the lens of others

Stickers for SPARK Magazine (2024)

These are some stickers I designed for Issue 23 of SPARK Magazine working as a graphic designer.

The title, and thus theme, for this issue was “Motor”; think grunge, metal, moody. At this time, I wasn’t very familiar with merchandise design, but it was really fun and challenging incorporating the SPARK brand and theme into merchandise

Me and a team of 2 other designers were asked to work collaboratively on this issue’s sticker sheet, so this was a really great way to practice cohesiveness and designing as a collective.

Logos for school organizations (2024)

In high school, I was asked to design some logos for organizations that would be used as their visual identity in things such as t-shirts, social media profile images, and advertising. These are a few of my favorites.

I created the designs based off of what the organizations wanted to represent and embody in their work. In my time as a senior in high school, I created around 15 logos as non-profit volunteer work.

In working on these, I learned some important things about designing in collaboration with others:

There is no such thing as too many questions! Some people have a hard time knowing what they want--as a designer, we should introduce visual branding in a way that is approachable to those who are unfamiliar.
Sketching tons is the key to creating a successful draft! I sometimes have way too many ideas, so it’s always a great idea to get them out of my system (and it gives the client a lot of things to choose from).

Little Star Lab (2026)

View the logos I created for the project in the “Branding + Merchandise” section of this page.

As previously mentioned, my friend Isra had started working on the final project for her studies in film and asked me if I would be interested in helping her develop the project’s branding; in addition to this, I also worked on graphics for the promotion of her project.

Isra gave me a lot of creative freedom, so with a Pinterest board and a dream I:

Played a ton with textures and type
Pushed my own boundaries by using colors I’m not too familiar with
Developed visually cohesive, yet individually stand-out graphics for each step of Little Star Lab

Fall Semester Posters (2025)

These are all poster designs I worked on for a couple classes during my 2025 fall semester (Images in Communications, Typography).

These courses really challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and design using colors, textures, forms, and concepts that I had never thought to try before.

SPARK Issue 25: Jubilee (2025)

These are the spreads I designed for the most recent print issue of SPARK Magazine. I worked carefully with my team of incredibly talented creatives to take the visual and written assets they made and turn them into three double-page spreads that tell a compelling story and adhere to the SPARK brand identity.

I faced a lot of challenges working on this spread! During the design process, I felt stuck because I felt like I wasn’t using the “right” photographs. I realized that adding my own graphic elements really helps, and that I don’t necessarily need to know what photos to use right at the start.

5 Objects Assignment (2025)

This is an assignment for an Images in Communication class I took during fall, 2025. The prompt was to create 5 double-page spreads to show 5 things that are meaningful to us.

I had a lot of fun working on this assignment! It prompted me think intentionally about placement and how to catch a reader’s attention with few visual assets.

UI / UX Design

Demo developed by our tech team

Cue (2026)

As a part of a student organization called Convergent, I had so much fun working on Cue, a prototype product with a goal to solve a major problem faced by students studying film: the lack of a dedicated space to find and recruit a crew. Over the course of the Spring 2026 semester, my team and I fostered Cue under the guidance of Convergent lead members and by the end of the school term, presented our product to a panel of judges.

This experience was a great stepping stone in studying UI/UX design and I loved every part of it! I learned so much about teamwork, time management, and looking up Figma tutorials before I screw up.

I developed this project alongside some incredibly talented fellow UT students:

Product: Lina Shin and Nimit Satwah
Tech: Atharva Bharambe, Akshaya Manikandan, Ayushi Priyadarshani, Tanishka Gupta
Design: Amanda Le and I

Microinteraction Prototype (2024)

For an Interaction Design course I took, the class was asked to conceptualize, develop, and prototype a microinteraction for an existing application interface, so I created this “paper plane” interaction.

The overall concept is sending a short message via Google Maps to communicate to friends who are also navigating on Google Maps--details such as arrival/help needed or even just to say hello through the metaphor of sending a note in a paper plane.

The goal of the microinteraction is to encourage people to communicate better in the context of navigation, especially when different people are planning to arrive at the same place at the same time. This was my first time working on Figma, and it ended up being a great learning experience for me!

TOOLS: Figma

Messaging App Prototype (2024)

For an Interaction Design course, we were asked to conceptualize, develop, and prototype from scratch in Figma a “themed” messaging app catered to our personal interests.

For my assignment, I wanted to incorporate the concept of downloadable themes for comics/manga. The only requirement was to prototype 6 screens, so I included a:

Chat screen
Main menu
Settings screen
Theme selection screen
Support page
Contacts page

This project really introduced to me the importance of planning my work, even when it’s digital and easier to backtrack on! I spent a lot of time moving elements around, and it might have been easier to execute the project if I had sketched it out a bit.

TOOLS: Figma

“To the people, food is heaven” (2025)

These are screenshots of a project I worked on in a course on Interaction Design. We were asked to make a website from scratch using HTML and CSS; the prompt was open-ended, so I decided to make a Hong Kong retro inspired website showcasing all the Asian dishes me and my roommates had cooked so far living away from home.

Unfortunately, the site is no longer active due to the host site being shut down, but this is still a very meaningful project to me! It was the first time I incorporated pieces of my culture into an assignment for school.

TOOLS: HTML, CSS

Over the years, I’ve drawn a lot in my free time. These are just some of my favorite works as a hobbyist illustrator.

Hanbok Camisole (2025)

I was thinking of birthday gifts for my Korean friend, and I thought that I should make her something that reflects her culture.

I designed and sewed this camisole top that takes elements from the details and silhouettes of a traditional Korean hanbok.

This was the first time I had ever sewn a top, so I had a hard time drawing the pattern! I was reminded that you can always take away, but its very hard to add more when cutting fabric.

TOOLS: 100% cotton, Brother CS5055

Pankou Skirt (2025)

This is a belt-skirt designed to incorporate Chinese pankou closures, fusing modern pleated skirt silhouettes with traditional Eastern details.

The skirt is removable via hook and eye clasps, which makes this piece a 2-in-1 skirt and belt.

This was my first time sewing pleats, and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. I learned the hard way that you cannot eyeball pleat intervals!
