Current Project
A Planet Called Longing
I am devoting some of my gap year between undergraduate and graduate school to work on a science fiction creative writing project. It uses the context and topography of an alien world to explore the emotional/cultural trauma people experience when facing an existential climatological threat they did not personally cause. I hope to publish a short story or book about slow violence, survival, and forgiveness.

Working for bioSEA in Singapore, I co-authored a Biomimicry Design Toolkit. The toolkit provides an extensive resource for architects, engineers, and designers to use inspiration from nature to overcome heat and humidity in the built environment with little to no electricity. The toolkit is available as a paperback or e-book from the bioSEA website.
The project was funded with a Good Design Research initiative grant and supported by the DesignSingapore Council. The team included members from five countries.
Poetry
Helping heal the world from climate change is about more than the material world, sometimes we need poetry to express our feelings, our pain, and the will to go on.
