Hi! I’m Melody
I am a multimedia and interaction designer, as well as a speculative and critical mediator, whose practice sits at the intersection of interaction design, media art, critical theories, and emerging technologies. Applying human-centered design and speculative/critical evaluation as methods, I aim at using design to mediate behaviors and empower human beings through embodied experiences, while reflecting on current trends and a better technology-mediated future.
I work across a multitude of media, including digital applications, physical computing, interactive videos, embodied interfaces, installations, writing, and sound design. Using theory and making as the two pillars of my design morale, my personal research and design practices focus on contemporary human identities, and how might design intervenes by giving agency back to human beings.
Based in Los Angeles, I just graduated from ArtCenter College of Design with an MFA (with distinction) in Media Design Practices. Previously, I obtained my B.A. from University of Southern California (USC), majoring in Philosophy, Politics & Law and minoring in Business.
Besides design, I also have a side gig of being a music artist, and I’m part of the music duo LplusM who creates original songs that gained 200k+ streaming on international platforms. Check out our Spotify page!
Let’s get in touch!
I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities in design studios/consultancy, multimedia design, and UI/UX design. I’m based in Los Angeles but actively seeking opportunities in LA, NYC, and other locations.
Let’s talk if you are interested in working together, or simply want to say hi :)
