Edgar Yan's Work | ContraWork by Edgar YanEdgar Yan
Designing interfaces since Winamp times.
Designed the brand identity and visual system for Advanced Engineering Lab, a neurotechnology research lab developing closed loop systems integrating EEG, HRV, speech analysis, and adaptive brain informed AI.
The project focused on creating a precise, minimal, research driven aesthetic that reflects multimodal signal processing and brain responsive architectures.
The model image used in the concept was AI generated as part of the visual exploration process. Built a custom EEG neural tracker from scratch in Rive using Lua scripting.
Originally tried Unicorn Studio’s blob tracker, but the rendering and control weren’t there, so I rebuilt it fully procedural.
~34 KB without the image.
No textures. No external deps. Just math and draw calls.
Visually artistic, but structurally mapped to real 10–10 EEG electrode positions, so it can plug into actual EEG data if needed. Unusual — Branding & Shopify Launch | SKAI Creative Project: Piggy 🐷 (pig.gy)
A digital piggy bank built on the Lightning Network.
What we delivered:
• Product Design: A network-agnostic interaction model.
• Engineering: Passwordless authentication (Passkeys) and a scalable Shadcn UI system.
• @Rive Animation: A procedural character engine capable of 10,000+ variations.
• AI Integration: Personality-driven messaging logic.
