About Sun Irl

I am Sun a Chicago-based Creative Technologist! I pride myself in having over seven years of experience designing, prototyping, and activating immersive, technology-driven experiences. It is my purpose to build bridges between technology, design, and wellness to create digital and IRL experiences that foster connection. I provide art direction informed by a historical and cultural lens. My work with Toronto History Museums, L’Oréal, and The Avalanche Foundation focuses on one-of-a-kind, strategy-driven experiences that transition effortlessly from concept to reality. My ethos is simple: everyone who interacts with my work should feel seen, heard, and valued. I bring that approach to every project, turning ideas into meaningful experiences that transform your dreams into reality.
