Primate Forest at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is an immersive destination that connects visitors with wildlife, conservation, and the natural world through interactive storytelling and hands-on experiences.
I led UX/UI and visual design for two key interactive activations, Design a Sustainable Future and Stories of Care, developing engaging digital experiences that make complex ideas accessible to audiences of all ages.
In Stories of Care, younger visitors embark on a playful journey of self-discovery through an interactive personality quiz. By exploring their strengths and identifying with creative, innovative, or educational archetypes, participants create personalized posters that celebrate their unique perspectives and potential to make a difference.

Originally built in 1925, Miami's Freedom Tower has served as a newspaper headquarters, a refuge for Cuban immigrants, and a symbol of hope and resilience. Reopened in 2025 following an extensive restoration, the historic landmark has been reimagined as a cultural destination, bringing its century-long history to life through immersive exhibitions, archival materials, and interactive storytelling.
I contributed visual design for interactive experiences, helping translate historical narratives into engaging digital and spatial experiences. My work included developing visual layouts and image compositions for the galleries, as well as conceptualizing and designing content layouts for an interactive timeline that invites visitors to scroll through the Freedom Tower's evolving history.

Each poem uses intimate public messages about the pandemic from online forums like Twitter, Reddit, and NBC New’s Coronavirus Confessions database. We used a series of natural language processing (NLP) algorithms and sentiment analysis to stitch the phrases together, creating new common narratives; or a digital haiku.
THE 100,000-LED INSTALLATION was built from 48 daisy-chained IP65 outdoor-rated matrix panel displays, combined to form 24 individual display panels. The array is controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4 and suspended from a rail and cable mounting system.
This project is an exhibition in the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program TEMPO. TEMPO is a temporary public art program that fosters work by local artists and cultivates exploration of the City of Austin.
“Gravity" is a kinetic sculpture embodying the dynamic interplay of movement and electromagnetic forces amidst human interactions. Stalks swayrotate and bend towards observers as they traverse the labyrinth of its magnetic field. This interaction evolves with each new observer, as the turbulence within the field redistributes energy, causing the stalks to gravitate towards all those within their sphere of influence.
“Nature of U.s." explores the intersection of art, nature, and technology. Through this physical data visualization installation, viewers are immersed in an experience that weaves the growth of plants with the ebb and flow of political domains.
This curated garden has a watering system tapped into data sources capturing the impact of accessibility, democracy, and equity on various communities across the U.S.
Observers witness fluctuations in plant growth and vitality, serving as a mirror to the effects of societal pressures and oppression, or the lack. As negativity permeates discourse, the plants receive fewer nutrients, while positivity fosters vibrant growth.
This symbiotic relationship between nature and data reflects on societal well-being, serving as a visual metaphor for our interconnectedness with the natural world.
