Hey! I'm Bethany. A designer and multimedia artist with way too many hobbies to keep me busy.
You may also know me as B!

I'm from San Francisco, CA and Taipei, Taiwan. Currently residing in New York City.
My childhood habit of re-arranging my shared bedroom, much to my sister's annoyance, led me to pursue a degree in Interior Design at San Francisco State University, and a minor in Technical Theatre with an emphasis in Scenic and Properties Design.

I'm currently exploring creative possibilities through intangible subject matters such as light and time at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.

If I'm not designing for a physical space or object, I am likely painting, sketching, knitting, carving, or another one of my many passion projects.

Where You Linger | NYU ITP Winter Show 2024
Interactive Art
.
"Where You Linger" is an interactive diorama that explores our personal relationships with time when we are engaged with our work. Inside the diorama, which the user sees through a peephole, is a Pepper's Ghost projection of a person engaging in different activities at a desk. The user is able to alter the passage of time within the diorama, which reflects how fleeting time can be when we are focused on a task at hand. This creates a different experience for each user depending on where they choose to linger in the model.
