MIT BRASS RAT

At MIT, the Ring Committee is a student organization that manages the design and delivery of the iconic Brass Rat class ring for each graduating class. As 1 of 12 students selected to coordinate the Class of 2027 ring delivery process, I led design initiatives serving 1000+ students while collaborating directly with industry partners and university stakeholders.


My role as an artist includes ideating, prototyping, and presenting multiple design iterations for the 2027 Brass Rat to committee members and the Herff Jones manufacturing team, designing branding materials such as the logo, content for social media, and presentation materials, and developing interactive art activities that enhanced student engagement throughout the ring selection and delivery timeline, ensuring a seamless experience that honored MIT's century-old tradition while making the ring unique to our class.

As part of a broader initiative to enhance the client experience in the Think Lab, I also implemented a Qualtrics feedback survey to be included in client agendas.


Designed in both English and Japanese, the survey supported our frequent collaborations with IBM Research Tokyo and ensured we could capture more inclusive, meaningful insights from diverse stakeholders after meetings and presentations.
