I love experimenting with After Effects and other animation tools to bring my work to life. Having focused on animation for my Art and Design minor in my undergraduate degree, my courses have sparked a lifelong interest in motion design! I still try to incorporate motion into my work to this day.

After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Procreate
I like to have fun whenever I’m given complete creative freedom. My video essay application for the MHCI program at Carnegie Mellon was designed in Illustrator, animated in After Effects, and edited in Premiere Pro. Though I was admitted into the program, I ultimately chose to accept my admission to Cornell Tech instead.
A simple intro and outro video for Chartmetric’s live webinar series: Off the Charts. I followed the sounds of the music to inform the motion design.

Though I was meant to study abroad in Australia for the duration of Winter 2020, I had to leave the country early as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, instead of returning to America, I ended up going to Taiwan to be with my family. Due to subsequent health concerns regarding the pandemic, I ultimately chose to stay in Taiwan for the duration of my senior year and took my classes completely online. This final animation project illustrated the places I’ve traveled throughout my life and how COVID impacted my journey.

My cousin and I once took a trip to Tainan: a Taiwanese city teeming with historical and religious buildings. Taking inspiration from the elaborate architecture and vibrant colors of Buddhist temples, I used a mixed technique of stop motion and digital animation for this piece.
