After so long—YIKES, my birthday was over 2 months ago!—I’m finally getting back to posting. Following the last entry, I gave a short talk at Tokyo Pecha Kucha Night about my thesis work and current research, but unfortunately the preparation for this interrupted my flow. Afterward I was completely confused about what direction to go in, especially considering audience members’ enthusiasm for the kawaii stuff from my thesis, which I’m not really doing anymore. I liked the jewel idea conceptually, but didn’t know where the bedazzling was taking me. Luckily, my sister’s visit distracted me for two weeks, and then I started working as a pseudo-intern on a CD package design for Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo LAB. The deadline is quickly approaching and there is MUCH work to be done, so the next few weeks should get pretty interesting! Although this project has had its ups and downs, and hasn’t left much time for my own work, I’ve really enjoyed having a daily routine, a place to go, and regular social interaction. I’m also learning a different working process, which is always interesting. Below are some photos from my PKN presentation.
