ADIDAS EQUATION TYPEFACE The Adidas Equation shoes were designed to go from high-tops to low-tops simply by removing one piece. The corresponding typeface was inspired by Tangram, a game that challenges players to create various looks from the same set of shapes.
Right:
Fly Hi or Go Lo.

Derrick Rose: It’s on me to represent the 312.
Dwight Howard: It’s on me to look squeaky clean.
THE NORTHPOLE PROJECT Santa is known for being a pretty good guy. He’s sainted for
the Workshop Tracker. Scan the barcode of any holiday present from a
Christmas sake. But in the age of globalization, manufacturing has
smart phone. In a few seconds, you’ll know whether it was made at a
moved overseas – much of it to China – away from the watchful
Workshop or a Sweatshop. Christmas is about loving your fellow man
eye of Ol’ Kris Kringle. So this Christmas season, we’re introducing
– even the one overseas.
HYBRIDCENTER.ORG Hybrid vehicle technology has the power to create a less gas-dependent future. To illustrate this point and also promote www.hybridcenter.org, we installed a fake gas section in local supermarkets.
A SONY VAIO NOTEBOOK HAS MORE COMPUTING POWER THAN THE FIRST APOLLO AIRCRAFT SENT INTO SPACE.
THE ROCKET PROJECT So why not launch a Sony VAIO into space?
design to a highly anticipated live countdown on launch day. Via
We’ll recruit a class of orbit-inspired high school students and pair
microsite, America can watch the blood, sweat and tears it takes
them up with experienced mentors to transform a Sony VAIO into
to make a dream soar. And for Sony, we’ll turn bits and bytes into
an actual, fire-spouting rocket. We’ll document their journey from
serious sci-non-fi hype.

THE WORLD’S FIRST PRODUCT LAUNCH INTO OUTER SPACE.
DELSOL CRUISER BIKE Single speed, fat tires and big, curvy handle bars: it’s the only way to roll. Enjoy the ride, nothing else matters when you’re cruising— not even time.
The “Timeless watch” would be distributed at races, bike shops and given to cruiser bike owners.
The cruising lane suggests people to break away from the formality and ride freely.

SONY KIKU HEADPHONES Sony asked us to name, brand and launch a new line of headphones for their US youth market. To honor Sony’s Japanese heritage, we created an iconic character named KIKU, which simply means “to listen” in Japanese. Each package includes one KIKU character which, in addition to holding the headphones, is a cute keepsake that interacts with your music.
Plug him in. Light him up. Watch KIKU interact with the beat of your music.
To create buzz and introduce the new product, we created a guerilla campaign using various KIKU stickers. Onlookers are invited to take pictures of the QR codes which will lead them to the nearest KIKU vendor and/or various KIKU vending machines situated around the city.
WINTER X GAMES 11 Winter X games wanted to feature top players Torah Bright (snowboard), Shuan White (snowboard), Chris Burandt (snocross), and Simon Dumont (ski). We gave each of them a bold statement about themselves to create the hype for the competition.
EXCEDERIN MIGRAINE We created a visual campaign and bathroom installation to mimick how a headache makes people feel.
PAPER DOLL DRESS
A Silkscreen project exploring paper displaying possibilities. Here, I decided to do a 3-D collage, on a human. It ended up looking like a dress.
I AM 8-BIT ART SHOW INSTALLATION I AM 8-BIT is an annual art show that invites artists around the world to celebrate the love of 80’s video games and the beloved characters created on the 8-bit programming system. Here was my creative contribution.
CREAM VINTAGE: DRESSING ROOM DESIGN I wanted to make each dressing room unique, but they still needed to feel like part of a whole. To achieve this I illustrated the lifecycle of a flower in each of the 4 dressing rooms: the planting of the seed, the sprouting of the bud, the wilting of the flower and the return to seed form. The visuals were simple and concept was consistent with the vintage brand: everything in life repeats.
VANITY PROJECT: TEXTILE/ COLLAGE After being inspired by design house m/m paris’s The Alphabet, I re-created the typeface by hand-cutting each letter from fashion magazines. Then, I used the letters to create textile and design collages.
BLACKMAIL: IN-STORE DISPLAY I was asked to design an in-store display for Blackmail, a hip
non-traditional way I took them out of the storefront and turned them
monochromatic clothing store in Austin, Texas. To match the edgy
into individual sculptures. Spread around the store, the installation
clothing designs, I decided to create an art exhibit within the store
successfully garnered more shoppers and created a widespread
that would do more than turn heads. Using mannequins in a
buzz amongst the artist community within the city as well.
