Sound Studies Lab invites young and experienced scholars and artists to work on the sonic sensory aspects of individual lives and in heterogenuous societies, cultures and historical eras. The projects at the lab operate in mobile, experiential and field-based research environments. The basic research strategies of the lab are therefore field research, critical analysis and the production of sonic artifacts.



The superscript “S” in the logomark echoes the shift of sound in the Doppler Effect visually. Additionally, it indicates the scientific and mathematical side of the lab.

Doppler Effect, (n.) An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.


Tools: Glyphs, Adobe InDesign, Programming Languages.






The identity system of the lab connects artists, designers, scientist, scholars together. I learnt how to merge the mathematical terminologies of sound that with not much visual, and turn into visible intriguing visuals.

I prototype in all dimensions and find emerging relationships between media, architecture, and design in an interdisciplinary way. With each project, I look for ways to bring my work into a dimensional world, allowing people to experience it in new and exciting ways. My desire is to have a multidisciplinary practice with no boundaries.
