3D and editorial design for an alternative fashion history generated by a self-trained AI.The project began by training an AI on a database of fashion history, blogs, and novels by Jean Genet. The AI named itself Rous D’Alenciennes and generated its own writing. A short 3D animated video and magazine were created from this text, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between fashion, body, identity, and culture.

Most self-study resources can’t give sign language learners instant feedback on whether the sign they performed was right. In this project we took a gamification approach and created a demo version of the Visual Dictionary, which helps beginners, including children, learn basic American Sign Language (ASL) on their own.

From 2020 to 2024, I worked on design and project coordination for an art-film institution.The work ranged from the full visual suite for a screening series with Pro Helvetia to the launch identity for an art club in partnership with Fosun Foundation. I also consistently created graphics, marketing materials and social media content for the institution, designed the UI of its WeChat mini-app, and handled ongoing content maintenance for both the mini-app and the website.
