Americana! 🇯🇵🇺🇸

Idk why but I find the dualism between Japanese and American culture fascinating. The contrast between Japanese typography and “Western” imagery evokes a certain feeling I really can’t explain.. taken in Tokyo, Japan by @cho_co_pie

What if AI could bridge the gap between sign language and spoken English?

This prototype uses MediaPipe to track 21 points on each hand and 468 points across the face in real time. Hand tracking recognizes the signs and builds them into a sentence while face tracking captures something more nuanced… emotion.

American Sign Language and spoken English have fundamentally different grammar structures.

In ASL, facial expressions don’t only show how you feel. It can also completely change the meaning of what you’re saying.

Once both the signs and emotions are captured, they get passed to a local LLM that interprets the emotional context and generates a natural English translation. The underlined words show exactly what the AI modified to make the sentence flow naturally.

Finally, ElevenLabs brings it to life with voice. Tone is automatically adjusted to match the context and emotion.

How I designed a café that does not exist (part 2)

It all started 7 years ago when I was at @artcenteredu . I came across an article about Kopi Joss, a traditional Indonesian drink that mixes charcoal with coffee (I know, kinda odd.) But that article sent me down a rabbit hole of looking for coffee drinks from other cultures that people may have never heard of.

Turns out, there were so many, and each one carried a meaningful history tied to the culture and place it came from. That’s when the idea hit me… What if there was a café that brought all of these drinks together? A place where people could experience a glimpse of the world through a cup of coffee?

After graduating in the midst of COVID, I started working on this every day. The world felt divided and isolating in a way it never had before, and somehow that made this project mean even more to me. And after a few years, I finally finished it.

This was never meant to be a pitch. It was always about telling a story through design, and believing in the power of design to bring people together.

But if this resonates with you, if you love coffee and design, believe in the beauty of diversity, and want to create something together, let’s connect.
