THE WANDER
ENGINE

Los Angeles discovery experience

My role

Concept, design & development

Directed and iterated the AI-assisted opening sequence using Seedance 2.5, Claude and Blender, shaping it into a stylized aerial journey to the Wander Engine interface.

Inspect

  • Editorial flow and timing from cinematic sequence to interface
  • 3D typography integrated convincingly into the Los Angeles environment
  • Consistent color, adding imperfect drone movement, realistic flag motion—while the Wander Engine mark remains readable and distinct.

REVIS
“STARDUST”

Music video

My role

Direction, editing, VFX & color

Brought the band’s concept to life: an adult looking back on a childhood marked by rejection and isolation—experiences she transformed, through her own determination, into discovery and adventure. I built its sense of wonder through color, intimate moments with the child actor and the edit.

Inspect

  • Intimate, emotionally credible performance from the child actor
  • Editorial progression from rejection and isolation to discovery and adventure
  • Color and visual tone that turn memory into a sense of wonder

SIFT

Interactive music instrument

My role

Concept, design & development

Created a browser-based musical instrument for people who don’t play a traditional instrument—or don’t think of themselves as musical. I designed its musical behavior, visual interface and interaction system with Claude, grounding it in music theory without allowing that structure to interfere with immediate, visually rewarding play.

Inspect

  • Music theory embedded without requiring musical knowledge
  • Clear relationships between input, sound and visual response
  • Interaction and visual feedback that encourage exploration and continued play
