Holes in Space
This series revisits an form study exercise where I was tasked with producing images using a hole puncher. In this edition, I study the limites of the hole puncher’s reach as a physical constraint in order to create a rationale for folding paper to create rythmic punctures and patterns. *publication in progress

Past Futures, an edible insect dinner
This pop up event hosted by Don Bugito aimed at creating a dialogue for guests to taste pre-colombian ingredients with insects as sustainable protein futures. The poster-menu was designed for guests to take home as a memento of this eating experience.
Menu designed exclusively for the February 8, 2018 dinner at O2 Artisans Aggregate, Oakland California

Sweet Space
A food making experience co-designed with Yunwen Tu for the annual annual CCA-hosted Nightlife Event at the California Academy of Sciences. We presented ourselves as space harvesters who sampled various ingredients from another planet and asked guests to help concoct recipes. 100 Space Desserts were created and consumed at the night of the event.

10e
10e is a web and print based index that organizes artists and designers based on ten elements of art and design. Taking inspiration from the Periodic table of elements, 10e organizes each artist (Ar) and designer (De) by prescribing 3 out of 10 elements that describe their work.
