Blue House: Live & In Color
Project Overview
Spring 2024
In collaboration with the local band Blue House, I helped organize and execute a live concert at The Grand Stafford in Downtown Bryan. Our team developed logo variations, promotional posters, merchandise, and dynamic audio-reactive visuals for the performance, aiming to enhance the band's stage presence and broaden their audience reach.
Blue House, consisting of college students, primarily performs covers of influential bands like The Strokes and Radiohead, while also working on the creation of original music.
My Roles
UI/UX Lead• Interaction Design • Communication Liaison
I designed and developed the user interface for controlling the audio-reactive visuals, which I also created. In addition to this, I conducted technological and user research, contributed to the logo and branding design process, and served as the primary point of contact between the band and our team.

Touchdesigner Experience
Although working with TouchDesigner was a new experience for me, after conducting extensive research on its functionality—particularly its ability to process audio input and transform that data to influence graphics—I successfully designed several visuals along with a user interface. This setup allowed me to control audio input in real-time and seamlessly switch between visuals during the performance.
Final Outcome
Displayed here is short clip, showcasing the audio-reactivity of one of the graphics.
Branding & Merchandising
Our team created a suite of logo designs, apparel mockups, posters, and sticker designs.
Event Poster
The flyer was printed, posted, and distributed around Texas A&M University, Downtown Bryan, and College Station prior to the event.
