Speculative Futures is an immersive virtual reality experience created for my BFA Graphic Design Capstone Thesis. The project was based on research regarding sustainable thinking and why we are obligated as designers to move towards sustainable mindsets. The space is meant to be a guided experience that is both surreal and biophilic, being fully immersive through virtual reality so the user is able to contemplate how we as a society approach material, decay, and design as a practice.

Bodies of Water is a contemporary dance piece focused on showcasing how water is an integral part of life and harmony. The piece showcases the natural beauty of nature, the human interference, and the reconciliation with the natural world. The images are projected onto a screen, becoming textural as they bleed onto the dancers, allowing for interplay between physical action and projected image. 

C2O is a flavored coconut water brand that utilizes sustainable aluminum packaging with the aim of being a forward thinking beverage that promotes a healthy and well hydrated lifestyle.

The aim of this direction was to reframe the initial approach to appear as an advanced and futuristic way of thinking, similar to that of a sci-fi world that. Ultimately, the brand would instigate similar feelings to that of the thought of flying cars or teleportation. A way of life that is dreamt of and sought after and thought of as the ideal evolution from our today.
