In Prototyping Studio class of my master’s program, we were given a prompt to create a physical installation to bring people together post-pandemic.
To implement our idea, we played with various electronics and technologies. Some of our experimentations are as follows.

I enjoy prototyping and creating playful experiences.
I coded and prototyped a racing game with p5.js and Circuit Playground Express, where two players can compete with regular keyboard or hardware steering wheel and pedals.

During the past year in my master’s program, I was able to immerse myself in research, from writing study plans, conducting interviews, to data synthesis, generating insights to inform design decisions.

Moderating a user interview.
I divergently ideate with sketches to explore different routes before narrowing down and moving to high-fidelity design on digital medium.
