Group project for Products for Licensing Class

My group project focused on developing a comprehensive plan for a live experience. This included research, experience design, sensory engagement, a refined drawing set, interactive elements, a rough prototype, budget planning, and branding.

In addition to contributing to the overall creative direction, I was responsible for creating 3D digital assets of the venue using SketchUp.

The project, Cohort, is a live experience designed to combat post-college loneliness by fostering meaningful connections. Participants are introduced to someone they have one thing in common with, but they have only 30 minutes to discover what it is. The experience scales to groups of four, eight, or more, creating a dynamic and engaging social challenge.

Inspired by the card game We’re Not Really Strangers, Cohort serves as an interactive extension of its concept, transforming passive conversation into a fully immersive, real-world experience.

For a complete breakdown of the experience, please refer to the slide deck.

Produced by USC's Performing Arts Committee, Defined is an experimental experience that celebrates the importance and signifigance of literature through interactive live expreinces. 

I was the Lead Experience Designer for this production and my main role was to unsure interactive expreinces for the audiences. Besides helping out with the whole production, below and to the left are the two main experiences I designed with my Assosiate Experience Designer.

Capsules of Thought 

We want every visitor to walk away from their experience at Defined with something tangible, and this interactive moment makes that possible. Visitors will be invited to respond to a prompt thoughtfully, fold up their message, and place it into the gumball machine for someone else to receive later. In return, they’ll receive a message written by another member of the USC community, creating a small but meaningful cycle of connection.

Your “Definition”  

We’re always evolving, with countless ways to define ourselves. Choose the word that speaks to you most in this moment. Place your disk into the projector to illuminate your word and step into its light.

I was Co Props Design for the Musical Theater Repetiore club production Falsettos. I assisteed with construction the overall creative vision for the props as well as built some of the props. Here are some pictures of the puppets (group effort), large utensils, and a split away red silk that I built build. 

People often take a large number of photos during meaningful events or trips, but when it comes time to post on Instagram, selecting which ones to include becomes a challenge. The process of filtering, comparing, and organizing photos can be time-consuming, and lacks a clear structure, leading to delays or indecision. While some users enjoy aspects of the curation process, others find it overwhelming or inefficient. There is an opportunity to better understand how people approach photo selection, what makes the process enjoyable or frustrating, and explore ways to support them through more intuitive, flexible, or even playful tools that help them showcase their experiences.
