FILTER: Art Direction

Pop-In@Nordstrom Eats More
Branding, art direction, and website design for a pop-up shop centered around food and gathering. The act of hosting a dinner party informed the photography and videos as well as the website experience, which centered around a table setting that depicted scenes of party prep, party time, and clean-up.

Pop-In@Nordstrom Holidays
feat. MoMA Design Store
Branding, art direction, website design, and a custom display type for a holiday-themed pop-up shop at Nordstrom, created in collaboration with Katherine Wong. The online shopping experience opened with a Snake-like game for visitors to collect gifts as a way to learn about the store’s products. This led into a lively shopping gallery with playful videos of the products.
