I believe that AI, particularly generative AI, creates a unique synergy between art and technology, transforming the landscape of expression and interaction. While there is a fine line between using generative AI as a tool and relying on it solely for creativity, I view it as a powerful resource, enabling us to explore creative ideas in a new way.

mix set match

A music discovery web app that helps festival-goers find new artists they’ll love. Using the Spotify and Last.fm APIs, the system analyzes your own playlists, compares listening patterns, and generates a match score for each artist in the lineup to identify which ones align with the type of songs and the artists you're already listening to. It’s a fun, data-driven way to turn your existing music taste into your festival roadmap - helping you discover new artists that truly fit your vibe.

kiara – Your creative tech companion

A growing playground for creative tech builders, makers, and visionaries. I developed Kiara using Claude AI as a way to showcase my AI fluency while crafting tools for the creative tech community. The platform currently includes a face asset conversion tool to streamline cross-platform AR projects, and a browser-based effect creator that lets users draw and see their designs mapped onto a face mesh to see how AR works in real time.

Mood Swiings

A browser-based moodboard generator I built with Claude AI and deployed on Vercel. The tool allows users to simply press the spacebar to instantly generate a cohesive board. Each generation pulls a random Google Font with the integrated Google Fonts API. Additionally, it builds a three-color palette by selecting a primary color and deriving secondary and tertiary hues through degree shifts. I curated custom “vibe pools” that matches to the characteristics pulled from the Google Fonts metadata. These vibe pools pair descriptive terms of the chosen font with the generated colors to form search queries for the Unsplash and Pexels APIs integrations. The result is a curated, visually aligned board that includes type, color, and imagery for instant inspiration for your next case.

Cooking Mamala

Cooking Mamala is a playful and interactive cooking game inspired by Kamala Harris’s love for the kitchen, blended with the nostalgic charm of the classic Cooking Mama game series. I used Scratch from MIT as the platform to develop the game mechanics. I illustrated the game’s assets using Procreate, crafting everything from the cooking utensils to the delicious dishes featured in the game. Each illustration was designed with attention to detail, ensuring the visuals would enhance the playful and inviting atmosphere of the game. For the kitchen background and some base assets, I incorporated Midjourney to generate creative starting points, which I then adapted and enhanced to fit the game’s style.

Fast Fashion

“Fast Fashion” is a generative AI photo series which plays on the concept of high fashion and fast food. Each image is a creative play of designer names and popular food chains. The series showcases a model in an editorial photoshoot style, set in a fast food restaurant, wearing iconic pieces from the respective designers and enjoying food from the corresponding fast food chains. This juxtaposition highlights the contrast and humor between the worlds of haute couture and everyday fast food culture.
