The projects include the Magic Garden for Karen Millen[13][14][15] and the 3D Pop-Up Studio for the Xintiandi shopping mall in Shanghai, one of the first component-based, fully 3D Printed pavilion (with Andrei Jipa and Stephany Xu)[16][17] Another pop-up project is "The Fitting Room" designed in collaboration with James K.
