Between 2018 and 2019, I built The End of Emotional Privacy, my Master's thesis at IAAC exploring how empathy could be felt physically.
I designed a bodysuit that translates emotions into real-time heat, using infrared sensors to read body temperature and heat pads built from conductive thread, so happiness, sadness, anxiety, and fear could be physically felt on the wearer's back. I paired it with a live p5.js visualization so people could see the detected emotional state as well as feel it.
It was selected for Global Grad Show in Dubai, later exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona, and covered by El País and TV3.
this may be one of the coolest things i've seen on contra yet. incredible idea, not to mention the execution!
thank you so much!! it was pre AI era, which makes me more proud of everything I did back then
i wish i could upgoat the same post again woW
🥹 thanks again! you were my first goat, btw
thank you!!! yes, pretty fast! I had to regulate it to get to the real temperature because in some early experiments, they burnt haha

Built a coffee brand around the feeling of being local. ☕️
LOCAL is a modern café identity designed to feel warm, calm, premium, and familiar - without falling into the usual coffee-brand clichés.
From the wordmark and earthy color palette to typography, packaging, uniforms, and real-world applications, every detail was created to make the brand feel like a natural part of everyday life.
Brand Identity • Art Direction • Packaging • Visual System
What do you think - would you stop by LOCAL for a coffee? 👀

KARMAE: ASTER | Brand Identity, Packaging & 3D Direction
ASTER explores the softer side of KARMAE.
Where Orbit leaned into shadow, mineral weight and atmosphere, ASTER brings the same brand world closer to light. Frosted glass, pale botanicals, muted metallics and softer tonal contrast create a quieter, more tactile expression without losing the core identity behind it.
For this refresh, I kept the original KARMAE foundation and expanded the system rather than replacing it. The goal was to show how one brand can hold two very different moods while still feeling cohesive across product, packaging and visual direction.
Everything shown here was designed and directed by me from start to finish, including the product design, packaging, environments, materials and final 3D renders built in Blender.
Part one of ASTER.
