An interactive map visualizing earthquake data from the USGS. Earthquakes populate the map with their time stamps and are sized based on the magnitude of the earthquake. Users can click on the points on the map to view more information including location, date, and depth of the earthquake. Additionally, a button was developed to pan to the largest earthquake in the past month.

Tools: D3.js, USGS API, and Leaflet

An interactive data visualization and microsite exploring Supercluster’s Astronaut Database, analyzing five main variables — geography, gender, occupation, years, and time spent in space. Five graphics and visuals were created from processing and analyzing the database.

Exploring Hart Island's history as a mass burial site for marginalized individuals since 1869. It visualizes and memorializes available records from 1980 onward, while emphasizing the missing and "unknown" data prior to that. Through tactile and historical reflection, the project fosters dialogue on memory, loss, and marginalized communities.

In this Quantified Self project, I investigated the relationship between my mood and the music I listen to over a 10-day period. I developed a method to self-record my mood on a scale of 1-5 and utilize Spotify's API to extract key audio features from the songs. The project culminated in a dynamic data presentation allowing users to view the data for each day via a slider. Skills learned include data processing, analysis, data structure, and user design.

A quantitative project using the Smithsonian’s Open Access API. Here, I go through the process of extracting data from the Smithsonian API, creating a mock in Figma, and coding an interactive visualization for exploring the material housed in the Natural History Museums at the Smithsonian through the lens of scientific expeditions.

A live clock that represents time in an unconventional way. Inspired by tapestry and stitches as a representation of time passing, I created this 24 hour clock where seconds are represented by the addition of overlapping semi-transparent circles, minutes by the larger circle’s increasing radius, and the hour (24-hr clock) represented by the angled lines. This was developed as an introductory project for a Data Visualization and Information Aesthetics course.

Loki represents flavors from around the world, so the design is built around themes of travel, exploration, and cultural diversity. The name itself is playful and a nod to “location” or “local, setting the tone for “place” as the grounding feature of each flavor. The visual identity evokes a sense of adventure while still being inviting and simple, reflecting how ice cream is both a treat and a global experience.
