Crew 404
This project presents a speculative movie trailer exploring the visual and narrative impact of a "what if" scenario: what happens when humanity perfects non-damaging genetic modification? Created using generative video tools guided by custom prompting and featuring original characters, the trailer illustrates a society that, upon attaining this absolute biological power, descends into catastrophic war. The project directly applies core class concepts specifically design as communication, speculative world-building, and audience interaction to investigate how editing choices and sharp tonal shifts communicate complex social commentary. By contrasting the hubris of artificial evolution with a survivor's perspective amidst the post-war ruins, the piece seeks to question the ethics of human optimization and the true cost of perfection.

Immersive Nightmare Experience
The installation is an immersive, tent-like enclosure that the viewer physically enters and sits inside. It stages a descent from a dream state into an anxiety-nightmare state. The calm, organic contour projections shift both visually and sonically, into something more agitated and unstable. Moreover, a VR layer feeds in a live, distorted view of the outside world. a custom audio track I composed was fed into TouchDesigner, which analyzed in real time to drive the reactive projected visuals and the subpack’s haptic output.

Say something
This project presents "Say Something", a bedroom pop and dreamy pop track with subtle R&B influences that explores the bittersweet reality of unrequited affection, specifically the emotional weight of a classic "hallway crush." I created it over the summer following a personal experience with someone I met months prior, the track was written. The song was made as a necessary creative outlet to process and release lingering feelings. It was made using Ableton, Bandlab, real instruments and the voices were changed with ai voice-over to create the feeling that there is 5 different members contributing to the song. It’s important because by translating a deeply personal experience into a relatable song, this work captures a universal human emotion, proving that music can function both as a personal reflection and also a community connection.
