Projects

A selection of projects that give me deep pride and satisfaction in having brought them to fruition. The process/journey matters even more than the final product.

[work-in-progress, coming soon]

Public Workshops, Presentations/Talks, as a Librarian

[2025] A Librarian’s World: What We’ll Build – Perspectives on Makerspaces in Singapore

I designed, developed, and delivered a public presentation titled “What We’ll Build – Perspectives on Makerspaces in Singapore” which chronicled the history of makerspaces in Singapore — from its inception, through its heyday, and finally, to its present state. I weaved in concepts such as dialectical thinking (“both..and” vs “either/or”), critical thinking and discernment around ethical tech, and deep dived into archival newspaper materials as part of my research process. I also brought in hands-on experiential elements by borrowing assistive tech 3D printed tools and gadgets kindly borrowed from Salvage Garden Makerspace.
The public presentation was well-received, with over 30 people in attendance. The participants were generous with their compliments and feedback, which I was heartened by.

[2024] PowerPoint Presentation under Chapalang for NLB30: Captured in Light, Developed in Darkness – How I Wound Up Exploring Polaroid Photography

As part of NLB30 celebrations, I presented at NLB’s first PowerPoint Presentation Party, Chapalang. Chapalang brought together a diverse array of curiosities by staff ranging from a Freudian analysis of chou-chous to the rich and delicious history of Milo. A copy of my presentation titled “Captured in Light, Developed in Darkness – How I Wound Up Exploring Polaroid Photography” can be found here.

Resource Guides

[2024] Primer on AI across Education, Healthcare, and Retail Sectors, as part of the Catalyst Project (Pilot)

Together with my teammate, I created a 6-page primer on Artificial Intelligence, detailing what it is, sharing AI applications across the education, healthcare and retail sectors, and concluding with a call for discerning and judicious use and adoption of AI. This primer contained resources in the local and international contexts. While on AI and heavily referencing AI tools, applications, and resources, the primer did not use AI in the creation or development of the content in any way. It was proudly created by humans and for humans, to navigate a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Graduate School Coursework as part of my MLIS degree

[2023] LIBR 556: Information Design – Final Project

I designed and developed a professional profile page from scratch through a combination of HTML, CSS, and Javascript using W3Schools and other web-based coding fundamentals tutorials. Some features include accordion sections and tool tips. [Note: hyperlink is currently not functional as I am in the midst of updating the code. Please check in at a later date].
This final product was supplemented with a design rationale report, usability testing, user research interviews with four individuals, and iterative prototyping/trial-and-error. Documentation of this project is available upon request.
Skills: Information Design, HTML, CSS, Javascript

[2023] LIBR 535: The Instructional Role of the Librarian – Final Individual Project- (Lesson Plan and Observation)

I designed a lesson plan (peer-observed) titled “Picture This: How to Critically Evaluate Images in Context” complete with learning objectives, engagement activity, and digital engagement, to a class of fellow graduate students in the UBC iSchool.
This final project was supplemented with a critical reflective essay and report, instructor feedback, and peer feedback. Documentation of this project is available upon request.

[2023] LIBR 535: The Instructional Role of the Librarian – Final Group Project- YouTube Instructional Video

Part of the group that produced the instructional video “Evaluating GenAI Output” which was uploaded to the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Chapman Learning Commons’ YouTube page, which has 3.5k views as of 4 Apr 2026. At the point of production, GenAI was a nascent and emerging technology, and we collectively agreed that it was important to be discerning and ethical of consuming and generating AI content in the space of academia and higher education.
Skills: AI Ethics, Collaboration, Coordination, Instructional Skills, Video Production
