Situated in a tropical area of heavy rainfall, the Water House is a healing space that is inspired by ancient bathhouses. Though most dwellings are built to shield inhabitants from rainwater, we have designed the Water House to embody the philosophy that water should be embraced. In the Water House, water permeates the inhabitant's daily, lived experience, symbolizing the acceptance of and connection to nature as the most intuitive healing property.

The central water vessel is designed to be a space of healing. Light generously pours through an opening in the roof, and rainwater falls into the shower, a sacred space for renewal and a reawakening of the senses. Sonically, water trickles down the black metal plates that enclose the surface, producing music that purifies the mind and soothes the soul.

The Water House

I was the lead designer at gallery.so, the leading social network for NFT collectors. Since March 2022, I directed the product's redesign to align with our new brand, launched the social feed, an editor redesign, a navigational refresh to support notifications and new pages in a user's profile, as well as the multi-gallery experience. In addition I built our design system (Frames DLS) from scratch.

**Brand rollout**\
Led the brand refresh of gallery.so, working closely alongside [Mouthwash  studio](https://mouthwash.studio/). We were inspired by the likes of streetwear and high fashion i.e. SSENSE, Balenciaga, Nike, Maison Margiela, etc. to land on a design direction that incorporates form and function synergistically.

**Abstract**

Hybrid practices are emerging that integrate creative material elements such as paint, clay, and cloth with intangible immaterials like computation, electricity, and heat...We explore electric heat within the space of Thermoreactive Composites (TrC), a class of objects composed of a thermoreactive material and a heat-generating element. We develop a maker-friendly fabrication pipeline and design tool that allows users to compose electric heat spatially and temporally using printed silver-ink joule heaters for a range of thermoreactive materials.
