The concept for this collection will be a combination of flipping old thrifted clothes and repurposing them into a full-fledged limited edition clothing line. The process not only involved fabrics, but a variety of common household items that were turned into art pieces.
Lucky Māo Launch Dinner
Producer · Creative Director · Guest List Strategy
To launch Lucky Māo, Orbital Kitchens’ delivery-only Chinese takeout concept, we transformed a historic New York apartment into a one-night-only fine dining restaurant.
The goal was simple but ambitious: challenge the perception of virtual brands and prove that delivery-first concepts can carry the same cultural and culinary weight as traditional restaurants.
For one night, 40 influential New Yorkers, food writers, artists, tastemakers, and loyal customers, gathered around a multi-course tasting experience hosted by Chef Tommy Lai, the Michelin-trained chef behind Lucky Māo’s menu.
The evening pulled back the curtain on the faces and craftsmanship behind the brand, bringing legitimacy and emotional depth to what is often dismissed as “just takeout.”
We invited 34 curated guests from across the city’s creative and food scenes to experience the brand before the public ever could, turning a digital-first concept into a tangible, immersive moment.
This wasn’t just a dinner.
It was a reframe of what a virtual restaurant could be.

The heartbreaking crisis of my country, Venezuela, is portrayed in these pieces. Throughout the pieces, I have represented many of the critical issues that Venezuela is facing. Venezuela is in crisis, and currently has both the world's highest inflation rate and crime rate. In these two pieces, I have depicted many of Venezuela’s issues through multi media art. I have used photoshop, painting, drawing, crayon melting, and collage to illustrate issues such as crime, protests, inflation, and hunger. The background contains headlines and excerpts from actual published articles such as, “Venezuela’s Farms and Factories Falter, as the Country Struggles to Feed its People” and “At Least 35,000 Venezuelans Cross Borders to Colombia to Buy Food and Medicine.”
The crisis of Venezuela is an issue that has not only affected me, but also all my family, friends, and most of the citizens of our country. It is a theme that has been very significant in my life. I wanted to represent some of the struggles my fellow Venezuelans have to contend with on a daily basis.
While the news relays the many problems that plague Venezuelans, it does not capture the seemingly opposite feelings of despair and patriotism that many Venezuelans wrestle with. We love our country and hope that it can be resurrected, yet we deal with the stark realities of crime, escalating inflation and political corruption. I will always be proud to call myself a Venezuelan and if I can use art as a medium to speak up for my country, there is no other topic I would rather explore. I am hopeful that one day I will create artwork which will represent the inspiring recovery and triumph of my home, Venezuela.
