2 of Cups


A web design studio created by me and a longtime collaborator, Taylor Paydos. I worked on creating the graphics for the studio, such as the pearl animation in the background of the site, the icon, and the reactive elements of the site. Together we came up with the brand’s identity, aesthetic, and ethos. The website is handcoded from scratch :) <3

Memory, Interpersonal Surveillance,and Obfuscation


“How can a victim of DV keep track of the times they've felt unsafe without their abuser finding their records?”

Using time as a tally, I created a smartwatch with a hidden tally system that allows a user to record keep instances of unsafe occasions in order to build trust in their memory which is often eroded in abusive relationships.  This device is made as an elementary step in recognizing patterns of abuse, to be shared with a trusted friend, and to eventually develop a safe exit plan.

Coding Sketches


Figure 0.1: What does the word ‘scan’ look like in action?

Figure 0.2: Covid has had a severe impact on how much time we spend on our screens. This sketch flips the tables on the user, embodying a dissociated yet surveilled presence, the computer watches you now. Is it tired of you as much as you are tired of it?  
P.S! (if you tap around the content of Figure 0.2, you can obfuscate your face!) 

Figure 0.3: Fun interactive pearly blobs!
