Weaving the Nexus:
How the Act of Archiving Broadens Creative Networks
This project seeks to develop a strategy to attract art and design students to conduct on-site desk research at a new library and archive that they have never visited. It started with a desk and ethnographic research on an archive in New York City and developed into a design probe that is disseminated to the people who are in accordance with the new audience targeted by Asia Art Archive in America (AAAinA), which then further developed into a design concept that was created based on the findings from the design probe results and follow-up interviews.

SketchQuilt: Co-Creation Through Play
This project aimed to design interactive gamification tools that bridge collaboration and creative inquiry. Inspired by the Battleship board game and a traditional drawing game from Indonesia, this tool combines elements from both into a communal drawing tool that can facilitate discussions and brainstorming. In addition, the words in each axis can be adjusted depending on the discussion’s topic. Moreover, the tools were exhibited at Pratt Institutes’ Research Open House 2025, which was held on April 24, 2025 at Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 3, 7th Floor, 63 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn.
