Skinlife, AI innovation, 2024

Figma, Procreate

Skinlife is more than just a skincare app—it’s a lifestyle companion. By leveraging AI, our app analyzes users’ skin through an uploaded photo, identifying issues like dryness, acne, or uneven texture. Based on these insights, we provide actionable recommendations, such as drinking more water or improving sleep patterns.

But here’s the unique part: We then turn these recommendations into habit trackers framed as in-app achievements. Every task completed—whether it’s drinking enough water or applying sunscreen—is celebrated like winning a star in a game. Through gamification, we transform skincare from a chore into an engaging, rewarding experience

Mood Masks, 2020

Procreate, non-woven fabric, melt blown cloth

Mood Masks are disposable masks with different stylized expressions on them, allowing people to easily express themselves during COVID-19, a time where communication is difficult. After they were manufactured, I sold them through Unmask Incorporated, a non-profit organization I founded that serves to educate people on mental health disorders and promote self-love. At the end of 2021, all proceeds were donated to “To Write Love on Her Arms”, an organization that provides financial support for mental health patients. Currently, we have raised over $1000 for donation.

Floura, 2021

Adobe dimension, blender, procreate, proto.io

Food heals the human spirit. But when one’s view of food is distorted, it could harm it instead. Floura is a meal delivery and treatment service that works collaboratively with the Floura lunchbox to aid eating disorder patients in their recovery. Made of sustainable wheat straw plastic, each compartment of the Floura lunchbox is detachable, stackable, and sized proportionately to the eating disorder meal exchange system. Users can either tackle meals one compartment at a time, or piece together the compartments to view their meals as a whole. Floura helps patients feel safe in their recovery, without worrying about how much to eat for every meal.

Swinch, 2021

Solidworks, Adobe Illustrator, Procreate

At Cornell’s Design & Environmental Analysis Pre-college program, I learned how to design in a team for the first time. For the final project, my team and I initially wanted to design an office resting area with the goal of improving communication amongst employees. However, after creating a few prototypes, we decided to narrow the focus down to specific furniture pieces. Swinch is one of the furniture designs we came up with. It is a multifunction table that serves as both a dining table and a digital touchscreen, which could be used as a whiteboard or to play multiplayer games. In resting position, the table is vertical and parallel to the posts. However, the strings on each corner of the table could easily be hooked onto the posts with the collaboration of two people, turning the table into a flat surface that both people can share.

7EDU Marketing, 2021

Procreate, Premiere Pro

7EDU is a well-known tutoring program based in Cupertino, CA that helps students from K-12 with school subjects, standardized tests, and college applications.

Additionally, I also created an animated promotional video for Christmas season.
