beginContour 從等高線開始: 
A Critical, Anti-colonial, and Intersectional Pedagogy to Taiwanese Creative Technology Education

2022 Processing Fellowship

In collaboration with Taiwanese artist Yangching Lu, begin Contour is a teaching practicum. We invited many Taiwanese middle school teachers, art educators, experimental educators, designers, and creative coders to collectively reimagine creative technology through a more beginner-friendly and approachable technology education.

In a six-week process, we conducted lectures, discussions, workshops, and test runs to help them develop their own teaching tools and syllabus.



Processing Community Day Taiwan 2023

Co-organized with my Taiwanese collective SpOnAcT!, Processing Community Day Taiwan 2023 titled "Code As Acts" is an exploration of how creative programming can engage with society and intersect with various disciplines. The event also highlights past and ongoing efforts by both local and international communities in this field.

With a focus on three key themes—Coding × Art, Coding × Society, and Coding × Education—we are bringing together artists, creative engineers, designers, independent hackers, civic organizations, and educators to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and collectively envision more inclusive tools and communities.





Mechanic.Design

An open sourced generative design library I helped develop during my time at Design Systems International. 



Sesame

Sesame is a fully browser-based online platform that simplifies the process of creating, prototyping, and delivering generative motion designs. It gives designers the ability to edit, export and supercharge their brand identity systems themselves with Javascript magic.

Co-developed with Richard Lehmann, the tool aims to addresses many of the challenges of collaborating with clients and delivering production-ready creative coding sketches with traditional infrastructure.



The Web is Fluid, Generative and Live

This class site serves as a hub for the materials and resources I curated for the class at Parsons Communication Design.
