Design
Hi, I’m Cyrus! Currently, I am a Junior at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts studying Interactive Media with interests in UX and design research. In terms of my background, I began my academic career as a Graphic Design major, but transferred into NYU’s Interactive Media program, after discovering a passion for the intersection of art and technology.
Cube Lamp
Cube Lamp is a sculptural lighting project constructed from interlocking acrylic pieces. Inspired by scandinavian design, the project explores simplistic form and practical functionality.
Materials:
- Acrylic
- Machine Screw + Blot
Portal To The Sea Lamp
Portal to the Sea Lamp is an interactive lighting project that explores how motion and illumination can be infused. Constructed from interlocking acrylic panels that gently oscillate with the lamp, the piece introduces gentle movement with serenity.
Materials:
- Acrylic
- Servo Motor
- Arduino NANO IOT
- MOSFET
- LED Strip
- Power Adapter
Sunrise Lamp
Sunrise Lamp is an intuitive, contemporary desktop. The lamp uses a “Flight of Time” distance sensor to detect hand gestures, allowing the user to turn it on and adjust brightness without physical contact. By holding a hand at a chosen brightness level for three seconds, the lamp remains illuminated for 20 minutes.
Materials:
- Acrylic
- FBreadboard
- Arduino NANO IOT
- Time Of Flight (Distance Sensor)
- Circular LED Panel
Bloom
Bloom is a experimental paper-based artwork created with charcoal, that explores organic growth. The composition aims to evoke the unfolding of petals and natural plant-like material.
Materials:
- Pastel Charocal
- Recycled Paper
Bowie
Inspired by David Redfern’s depictions of Bowie, “Bowie” translates his original portraits into a series of simplified, high-contrast vector forms. Presented in multiple color variations, the piece explores how different palettes can shift tone and perception.
Mediums:
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Photoshop
