Fun Palace: A Mixed-Reality Experience

One of the projects I am most proud of is the Fun Palace event. This interactive mixed-reality showcase blended AR, VR, and live performances. Over 350 participants explored new technology in a creative way.

Why It Stands Out:

  • Combined physical and digital elements to create an engaging event.
  • Led a 12-person creative team to produce high-quality content.
  • Managed real-time logistics and audience flow.
  • Coordinated 120+ stakeholders, including event planners and volunteers.
  • Hosted 350+ attendees, with strong interest in future events.

My Strengths

Creative Strategy & Visual Content

I specialize in brand storytelling, UX design, and digital marketing.
At Fun Palace, I applied design and user experience principles to ensure smooth and engaging interactions.

  • Key Skills:

    • Created marketing materials to enhance audience engagement.

    • Designed visual branding using Adobe Suite.

    • Mentored the development an AR app to introduce visitors to the experience before entry.

    • Managed pre-event promotions, including website design and event signage.

    • Ensured seamless interaction across all event touchpoints.

Leadership & Collaboration

I enjoy leading teams and working with different groups to bring ideas to life.
In Fun Palace, I managed a 12-person creative team and worked with event organizers and volunteers to ensure everything ran smoothly.

  • Key Skills:

    • Led a team of designers, videographers, and UX specialists.

    • Collaborated with marketers and event planners to align creative efforts.

    • Solved challenges quickly to keep the event running efficiently.

    • Ensured staff followed a clear plan for managing audience flow.

    • Created an engaging atmosphere through storytelling and interactive elements.

Challenge

Due to the time, I addressed scope changes and minimized the impact of such changes as relates to schedules, and risk for VR/AR/MR technologies.

There were more than 35 talented people from the Centre for Digital Media and also community organizers, event coordinators, volunteer group leaders and event staff, totaling 120+ contributors who are creating a magical Mixed Reality installation together. In 6 weeks, my role was to developed and managed the relationship with all levels of stockholders.

Result

In 6 weeks, as a production manager, I developed and managed schedules, monitored/tracked tasks, managed risks, coordinated resources, totaling 350+ attendees/participants. There were people asked if we would have the similar event next year.

Final Thoughts
The Fun Palace event demonstrated how I combine creativity and organization to deliver high-impact experiences. My skills in design, strategy, and leadership allow me to develop engaging and memorable events. I look forward to new opportunities to bring creative ideas to life.

Process

Before the event

Manage the entire volunteers and contributor teams
• Student group
• Organization
• Companies

The way the audience line up
• We created an AR app for them to start exploring before the walk into the environment
• Poster on the wall for people to get some information before they join us
• We also invited food trunk outside, so people could enjoy and shared the vibe.

Build the website
• Collected Weavers for any accidents and able to use their information on the website, which included the logo and confirmed contributor’s introduction (profile photo and introduction)
• Website style and content for marketing purpose

During the event


• Made sure all people were ready and set in their position.
• All guide staff had makeup like a clown for audiences to recognize. Their job was to lead audiences to follow the direction we set. There was a number limit for each booth. Staff needed to control it wasn’t too many or fewer people at the same time in the same spot.
• Time managed for each booth and the entire session.
• Checked if volunteers had enough breaks or stayed in their booth to introduce the booth or how to interact with the environment.

After the event


• Closer dance for everyone which leads people to exit the place.
• Made sure enough time to prepare the next session opens.
