She has been investigating the relationship between geometry, surface texture, computational algorithms, and making techniques in the art and science of paper folding. Her latest collection of Folded Light Art, using eco-friendly materials and manufacturing techniques, has gained world-wide attention and has been featured in many design magazines internationally, including WallPaper , Elle Decoration, DesignBoom, MocoLoco, Inhabitat, Gizmodo, Espaces Contemporains, and many more. Her creative works have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, and Beri, Italy, and Bangkok. Most recently, her large scale folded installation, titled Ruga Swan, has been selected for an upcoming international exhibit titled Above the Fold:New Expressions in Origami, which will begin its U.S. tour in the Springfield Museum of Fine Art in Massachusetts in January 2015. The exhibition is organized by a highly reputable international nonprofit organization based in Washington D.C. It is curated by Meher McArthur, the former curator of East Asian Art at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, California.
