ARS Pharma × USC - Anaphylaxis Care Design Sprint

Jumin Shin | USC IYA MSIDBT


Presentation view on web link:
https://www.figma.com/deck/xUFXbhqRmxHh0J7n0FNcHl
This semester-long project, developed with ARS Pharma, maker of neffy®, explored how USC could identify at-risk students, improve emergency preparedness, and promote neffy as an intervention for anaphylaxis.

Working with a teammate, I created a service blueprint, MySHR allergy screening prototype, staff training manual, PSA strategy, neffy station placement plan, and final presentation. The project strengthened my ability to apply service design and systems thinking to healthcare, behavior change, and campus infrastructure.


3woH_Welcome

a game built in Unity 3D with a DIY customized controllor


 “explore a living, emotional world through your messy relationship with space and memory.” 

3woH_Welcome is a chaos-embracing game that rejects the perfection of polished room sims. Instead of cleaning, players wander through a messy digital space, shaking and disturbing objects using a DIY gyro controller. Every movement creates intentional disorder, celebrating the emotional satisfaction and freedom found in imperfection.

Through rhythm-based gameplay, AED simulations, and scenario quizzes, the project transforms life-saving procedures into intuitive habits that reduce fear and hesitation in emergencies.




Extensions of Thought and Electricity

a. Of Word and Image, Song and Silence no.3
b. Of Word and Image, Song and Silence no.2
c. To Shine, Together
d. Where do we come from? Where are we going?
e. I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
f. The Hand That Sings


Exhibited at the RISD ISB Gallery as part of THE ISLANDERS, April 14–18, 2025.Extensions of Thought and Electricity is a collection of six interactive electric sculptures that investigate the relationship between the human mind and technological expression. Through custom circuitry, handmade interfaces, and kinetic motion, each piece gives form to an internal psychological state: communication through silence, the weight of memory, the search for identity, collective resonance, the fragility of the body, and the desire to be seen or heard.

Rather than treating electronics as purely functional, the series uses wires, sensors, motors, and sound as emotional materials. These artworks reveal how technology can amplify thought, extend the body, and expose the hidden tensions between vulnerability and control.


Edge Of Reason: You Are A Half-Rendered Memory

a game built in Unity 3D, submission for 2025 Viverse Spark Hack

game link: https://create.viverse.com/zXZstb8 I was once whole,
before the static began to breathe.
Now I flicker
a ghost caught between
code and conscience.

The sky hums in binary,
the ground forgets its shape.
Every step rewrites
what I once remembered
a loop of longing,
rendered, unrendered,
again.

Somewhere,
in the glitch between thoughts,
I almost recall
who I used to be.
