This is one of the musical instruments that was designed to bring people together. I collaborated with a team searching for sounds made by objects that are easily ignored in our daily lives, and we created musical instruments based on our research. I'm the lead visual designer in the team. As a result, I designed the visual identity system, a booklet of user guides, an infographic poster and animated logo. Through this project, we connect people through music, creating an experience that allows people to interact with the instruments as well as other people.

The landing page is designed for a novel written by award-winning author Ta-Nehisi Coates. My concept is built upon the mysterious and beautiful journey the young Hiram Walker had. I came up with the concept of revealing the mystery. Then I develop the visual style of the landing page and create animations as the main elements. It turned out to be a clean page with strong visual language.

2020 The interactive immersive installation, I’m thinking what I am thinking, resembles a diagrammatic huge brain processing everyday data. The environment combines sound and generative graphics, creating a subconscious experience for the visitor that calls on their intuition and cognition. It asks the question, ‘Are we completely conscious of our thinking patterns when making a decision?’
