Senior capstone project, exhibited at the 2017 UCLA Design Media Arts Senior Show, "Unsolicited Airdrop" winning the First Place award. Based on the Faiz Ahmed Faiz poem, "The Unicorn and the Dancing Girl", in this project I recreated portraits of my female ancestors which I coupled with hypothetical letters of advice to myself from their respective life experiences.

An entirely edible board game made out of candy and sweets, based on my twenty years of life up until 2015. Lalaland, a world of sweet, sour, chocolatey, and savory deliciousness featured a broad mix of childhood nostalgia, teenage struggles, and adulthood challenges. The 20 years of Lalaland were divided into Wackystan (Pakistan), Assimilation Jungle, Immigration Station, Disillusionment Forest, and Reality Mountains. There is one player, the green gummy bear, Powder Pinklepuff, and the Game Master.

A board game based on the Apples to Apples model with commentary on the Kardashian phenomenon. The goal of the game is for players to make the best insults about Kim Kardashian for various categories of points. With each turn, Kim Kardashian also gains points despite being insulted. The player who wins the turn also gets to take a hit at the Kim Kardashian pinata which is filled with chocolate coins and Easter eggs with bonus point messages inside. The points system is rigged so that no matter what, no matter how brutal the insults or the hits at the pinata, Kim Kardashian always wins.
