Travel sketches flip through, 2015-2016 👻 Different tools to document my trips and learnings (no camera this time) I remember every single moment of these times way more deeply. #sketches#artitsoninstagram#sketchbooktour#traveldiaries #productdesigner#idsketching

Lab 001: Fester Recap So,…What was festering? 130-ish of you showed up (we lost count) to explore the art of fester and fermentation with us, and we’re overjoyed. What you experienced: * Bio-material art breathing onto the table * Fermented flavors turning time into taste * Live cultures you could touch * Smells that made you question: eat or stay away? * Sound that pulsed like cultures in darkness * Interactive demos on the future powered by mold Thank you to our artists and collaborators who brought fungi, bacteria, and fermentation into conversation. Thank you to everyone who showed up curious, ready to play and eat. Special thanks to: Art: @mizmargaux @morethanhuman.bio @shushuo_o @tam.chi.yan @punxh.13 @growink_ @marugfe @chefcooke @emiliainsecta @loloostia Sound & spacial: @angfoo @andyguti @jtllo @danielwaltermusic Venue space: @sunbeam_la Sponsors: @itsnoon.world @drinkkace Video documentation: @patrickhuyphoto Food: @julia.catt @ranenchang Design & curation: @elimpan This was just the beginning. More labs fermenting soon~

2024 project updates!!! Spent the beginning of last year deciding if I want to pour full time into photography or product design. Ended up choosing to focus on design still. So, as I was trying to update my product design portfolio, I ended up designing my photo website instead, (which was waiting patiently on my to-do list for over 10 years) yay procrastination! 😭🫠 still needs some tweaks but will leave it out here for now before I change my mind again. peep the studio visit hang with Israel, along with other projects now on the site! Will she ever do her design portfolio? Let’s find out for 2025. Xoxo. 😘 #studiovisits#creativeprocess #illustrator#designerofinstagram #artistofinstagram #productdesigner #portraitphotography #filmphotography #contaxt3 #fujifilmx100f#fujifilmxt4 #leicam240 #kodakprofessional #ektar100 #kodakgold

Hehe visualizing more of my random sketches with actual materials :3 @vizcom_ Pulled from a sketchbook page from 2017? #creativeprocess #sketchbookpages #standaretopost #designprocess #productdesigner @stanforcreators

Testing out some more visualization tools to render out the ideation sketches of some whimsical wooden stools I wanted to hand carve /make. You’re saying I could’ve saved hours and days being holed up in a computer lab in the dungeons of my school making 3D CAD renderings??? 😭😩 (Last page is my sketches) @vizcom_ where you been all my life when I was in school huh. Slightly mad. Now to make them more tasteful and true to my sketches I need more refinement. #sketches #creativeprocess #standaretopost #productdesignsketch #sketchbooks @stanforcreators
