Thesis Research

For my senior thesis, I am working with the Worker's Algorithm Observatory (WAO) and Professor Andrés Monroy-Hernández to update their app, Driver's Seat. I will be working on the UI/UX design of the app to make it easier for drivers to use. To learn more about the WAO, feel free to click on the logo shown!

Digital Animation

This semester, I am taking a class called Animation 1 with Professor Tim Szetela where we will learn the basics of digital animation. Working in this class will provide me with the tools to really bring my websites to life and also to create some fun artwork in the process!

The GIF shown is the first animation from the class where I hand drew every single frame. In it, water bottles shape shift into other bottles to show that many of these bottles are very similar even when we argue about them on the internet! (This is not to say that you shouldn't love whatever brand your bottle is. A bottle that makes you happy is what matters!)

In addition, each brand's logo shifts into other logos, and I copied brand fonts and styles to make sure that the text in the GIF match the bottle represented. It makes it more fun and also it is easier to tell which bottle is which!

Can you spot the four brands I've represented?
