This project took a few weeks of my spare time to complete and was a rewarding challenge to bring to life. I worked on creating an interactive installation for Choose Love, hosted at Outernet London.
Built using React, Firebase, Node.js, and Firestore, the installation connects directly to Choose Love’s Shopify store. Every donation triggers floating hearts across three synchronized screens, each sharing the same style and color palette. To add another layer of interactivity, the screens change color whenever a full line of 22 items is sold, creating a dynamic and immersive experience that visually celebrates collective generosity.
This project beautifully showcases how technology can amplify meaningful causes by blending creativity and impact.
The installation will be live until the end of the month. If you’re in London, I encourage you to visit, experience it firsthand, and consider donating to support Choose Love’s incredible work for people in need.

Over the past few years, I’ve created a collection of creatures during my commute. The creatures tend to have a rounded shape with silly hands. Over the years, I improved at shading and lights, but I’m still not amazing at drawing poses and detailed body parts, and that’s where AI started to get into my workflow. I’ve been trying to bring some of my old experiments drawing creatures in Polaroids to life using Midjourney. Using my drawings as a reference and playing with weights, I could achieve some really fun results. Trying to keep the prompts as simple as possible, I kept most of the essence of the initial images, just bringing some realism to the drawings.
That’s where the short experiment First Dates started, converting some of my creatures using MidJourney and animating them with RunwayML. Feels like I was also indirectly inspired by the beautiful comic book I’ve recently read, Flake by Mattew Dooley and hours of listening to the album Her by Arcade Fire & Owen Pallett.
An experimental NFT collection featuring 536 one-of-a-kind creatures. Crafted with Unity3D, Cinema 4D, and Substance Painter, each Flob is a captivating, multi-eyed sphere with tentacles bursting with vibrant colours.
The Paper Boat Carousel is a heartwarming project that emerged during the pandemic, designed to unite the docklands community in London.
Participants draw paper boats, which become part of a captivating carousel. Powered by a simple DC motor and belt, the carousel symbolizes unity, creativity, and resilience.
It is a creative initiative born during the COVID-19 pandemic. It showcases a transparent acrylic box equipped with an Arduino, a motion sensor, a solenoid, and a fake thumb from a magic kit. This art-meets-technology installation raises awareness about the importance of motion sensors in replacing touch-based traffic light buttons for public safety. Simulating the experience of touch without physical contact sparks conversations about modernizing public infrastructure for a safer future.
In a quick turnaround, I put together this Halloween setup. Using stock videos in a Unity app, I project videos triggered by a web app. The window faced the pub, where folks had a lot of fun controlling the window.
For my second participation in the Abbey Road Studios hackathon in London, I went solo and ended up sharing first place with another group. Thanks to Meta's sponsorship, I earned a Quest 2 Headset and the chance to take part in the Meta hackathon.
My first hackathon at Abbey Road Studios in London resulted in our team securing second place with an AR application that connects multiple instruments, causing them to react according to their proximity to each other.
Through a collaboration with my dear friends, we embarked on a project aimed at critiquing the commonplace practice of swiping through Tinder profiles.
A wonderful project in honor of International Women's Day involved transforming individual tweets into an interactive particle system that collectively shaped the faces of influential women.
