Data Visualization & Design

  • Who Goes to Space?

    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.

    Tools: D3.js, JavaScript

  • Global Earthquakes in the Past Month

    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

  • Tennis in NYC

    A UX/UI Project focused on designing for usability and helping users navigate the tennis system in NYC. Includes user research, user journey mapping, wireframing, interactive prototyping, user testing, and evaluation.

    Tools: Figma, Miro, Google Form (user research)

  • Data Physicalization

    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.

    Tools: laser cutter, acrylic, and Adobe After Effects

  • Parsons x The Smithsonian Institution - "Worn Worlds: A Textile Exhibition"

    Sanidhya Sharma and I bring together textiles from the Freer & Sackler Galleries and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum,  to present a vibrant tapestry of textile images that users can filter by continent, color, material, and technique. Each textile reveals metadata, including its origin and period, creating a historiographical tool to study the complexity of textiles.
    Data: Textiles in the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

  • Sounds of My Days

    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.

    Tools: D3.js, JavaScript, Python, ChatGPT, Spotify’s API

  • Abstract Clock

    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.

    Tools: D3.js, HTML, CSS

  • Parameterizing Faces on Global Currency

    Study and sketch exploring the concept of parameters in p5.js, using portraits on different countries’ paper currency.

    Tools: P5.js, ChatGPT, Adobe Illustrator

  • Quantifying the Yields of Exploration: As found in the Natural History Museum collections at the Smithsonian

    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.

    Tools: D3.js, Figma, JavaScript, Github, Smithsonian API
