This project was for my Design for Additive Manufacturing Class in the Winter of 2023. This project allowed me to strengthen my CAD, Finite-Element Analysis, and Shape Optimization Modeling skills, all in AutoCAD Fusion 360. Check out my full final report here: Check out my Full Portfolio for the course here: Project Interpretation The prompt […]
As a Product Design Engineering/ Mechanical Engineering student, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is at the forefront of my design arsenal. I have experience with both SolidWorks and AutoCAD Fusion 360, as well as Blender (for computer graphics rendering). I have provided below an assortment of images depicting my CAD journey–don’t hesitate to reach out to learn […]
This project was designed with my teammates Addie Stonecipher (Stanford ’23), Chloe Widner (Stanford ’23), Emma Wheal (Stanford ’23), and Sasha Lascar (Stanford ’23) for our ME216: Advanced Product Design Capstone class. We named ourselves the Fab Five. All of the members in our group were really focused on sustainability in our product design. We […]
This project was completed in conjunction with my Mechanical Engineering teammates: Addie Stonecipher (Stanford ’23), Brandon Briones (Stanford ’23), and Ian Gunther (Stanford ’23). We completed this project for our ME104: Mechanical Systems Design course that we took in the Spring Quarter of 2022. We were named Tony’s Tigers, in loving tribute to our Teaching […]
When I was enrolled in CS147: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction, I devoted the ten-week class to developing EduCare, an app designed to educate young adults about their healthcare. For a project designed for groups of three or four, unprecedented circumstances led to my group being reduced to a team of myself and Nate Fleischli. Together, […]
CS148: Introduction to Computer Graphics and Imaging Final Project I worked on this project during my junior year at Stanford University, in a computer graphics course. My partner Melissa Daniel and I collaborated on this project, For Santa, using Blender Cycles. Concept The most wonderful time of the year is now year-round! Although the general […]

As a disclaimer, the Fret-Me-Not is affiliated with any similar products on the market. When I was designing the Fret-Me-Not, I had believed it to be an original creation, with no knowledge of any existing models. If you want to check out a succinct version of my product story, please feel free to check out […]
To access the PDF of my Candy Dispenser Photo Essay, please follow this link here. In my Stanford ME102: Foundations of Product Realization class, we focused a lot on taking our product design abilities to the next level, beyond rapid prototyping. We would design 3D models using Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and use laser-cutters or 3D […]
During the autumn of 2021, I was enrolled in ME 102: Foundations of Product Realization as part of the core curriculum for my Product Design major at Stanford University. One of the assignments was to use Computer-Aided Design to design, laser-cut, and assemble a non-rectangular box (meaning two or more sides needed to join together […]
I designed this map of Stanford University’s campus for the New Student Orientation Scavenger Hunt (more information here!) and took inspiration from Disneyland maps, as seen to the right. However, after discussing with my higher-ups, I realized that the map could be something greater than itself (used for tours, major events, etc) and so I […]
During the summer of 2021, I worked full-time throughout the summer as an Orientation Coordinator for Stanford University’s New Student Orientation. Following the COVID-impacted academic year of 2020–during which many students opted to take a leave of absence–Stanford was ready to welcome its largest cohort in history: the Class of 2025, which consists of 2200 […]
Similarly to my morph animation, Midnight by the Lake, this piece Stage Fright was heavily inspired by the 2010 film Black Swan, but the film definitely had less of a direct influence. I wanted to follow the theme of The Black Swan and continue through the animations of dance and movement in my final project. […]
In the time of remote learning, we are deprived of in-person instruction but also in-person community. In this animation, I wanted to re-emulate the community and spirit of college outings with the bouncing path of a good old-fashioned game of Beer Pong. I created the background in Procreate, and imported it into Adobe Animate. When […]
A lot of my pieces, especially those in my animated “series,” are influenced by pop culture and film. When I wanted to animate the steps of a figure walking across the screen, my initial instinct was to be inspired by the film, Mean Girls, with a puppet of the “Plastics” from the 2004 film walking […]
For another class, I had asked my friend, Kendall Ota, to film a short clip of her dissing my character and mocking our friendship, and she happily obliged. I decided to use this audio track–which I think is quite funny–as inspiration for this lip-synch video, which is very reminiscent of a catty high school drama […]
The piece speaks for itself: My Eyes Are Up Here. This loop animation adds another layer of depth to this retort; when the viewer zooms in closer to the breast of the figure, her top opens to reveal her unforgiving, disdainful stare. This piece really heavily utilizes imagery of eyes and is a play on […]
This animated piece is inspired by the 2010 Academy Award Winning film, Black Swan. This animation finds the intersection between the film and the classic Tchaikovsky ballet Swan Lake, juxtaposing the whimsy of the classical performance with the suspense of the psychological thriller. The intention with this piece was to create a loop that would […]

Since August 1, 2016 I illustrated “Daily Vocab for My Mom” to improve my artistic abilities and help my mother. She is a Korean-American immigrant, who is always trying to improve her English. I started to create illustrations of words that she asked me to define for her. As art is universal, she has been […]

2019 Chicken-wire, lighting, paper This installation piece started as a sculpture, made with chicken-wire and paper, which portrays a mother and her child. In constructing this piece, I stepped out of my comfort zone in attempting to manipulate the stubborn materials. Additionally, the chicken-wire was hardly visible at a distance. In my attempt to sharpen […]
Colored pencil on illustration board, 14 x 14 in The intent of “Different But Beautiful” is to show people that no matter their race, religion, or socio-economic status, they should always invest in self-empowerment. Furthermore, the theme of diversity extends beyond merely appreciating one’s own individuality. It is also appreciating other people’s diversity, a theme […]
2019 11 x 15 in. Mixed media BarCoded is a mixed media double self-portrait that was experimentally created by using a combination of 7 different mediums–pencil, watercolor, oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylic paint, charcoal, and ink–on watercolor paper. This piece is inspired by the polarity of distaste and indifference, representing that the opposite of hatred […]
Ink on paper, 8.75 x 6.25 This inked piece on paper is inspired by my favorite move of all time, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This piece was originally carved onto a clay block, which I then stamped with dual tone ink onto a piece of thick, parchment paper. The image is inspired by the […]
