Kamp is a collaboration among a few friends interested in urban composting.

Vermitube is a worm compost accessory for indoor potted plants.

Vermitube is an add-on accessory to any existing potted plant that transforms them into integrated vermicomposters. It works by adding vegetable food scraps and allowing pot worms or earthworms to compost the food waste. The resulting compost is embedded within the soil in the pot and fertilizes the plant.

Usually, vermicomposters (e.g. worm bin) and the potted plant are separate objects. Vermitube integrates them together to increase convenience and improve user experience.

I designed the Kamp website and also created the branding, logo, and image assets.

Chrolo is a rumination on the nature of time materialized in the form of a curio.

Time is both linear and circular, continuous and discrete, and exists both subjectively and objectively. Chrolo is an attempt at reconciling the seemingly contradictory qualities of time. Impossible to manufacture through traditional processes, Chrolo is realized through stereolithography 3D printing.

Chrolo engages multiple senses of sight, touch, and hearing, creating an embodied experience of time that draws the user back to the present. The sixty steps of Chrolo descend like a spiral staircase, forming the helix shape of the timer.

Chrolo begins with the user picking up a steel ball from the base and dropping it into the top funnel. As it descends down the sixty steps, the ball creates a ticking sound reminiscent of analog clocks. The ball oscillates back-and-forth on the steps which evokes the mesmerizing quality of pendulums. At the end of sixty seconds, the ball rings the bell and signals the end of a minute.

Chrolo was successfully funded and fulfilled on Kickstarter. The project is archived on Kickstarter

Chrolo was exhibited in Venice Design and Dubai Design Week in 2018.

Tack is a product that I tried (unsuccessfully) to launch through Kickstarter during my senior year at RISD. An important objective of the project was to work with local manufacturers.

Tack is a task light designed for modern urbanites. As more people move into cities, living spaces will continue to shrink. The number of discrete spaces in typical rental housing is decreasing, as seen by the rise in one-room studio apartments. Nowadays, one space has to perform multiple functions. Millennials are also moving from one city to another more than previous generations, necessitating furniture that can be easily moved between homes.

Tack was featured as a Kickstarter “Project We Love”. It was also exhibited at RISD Senior Show 2016. The project is archived on Kickstarter
