EKPHRASIS
Co-created by Shayne Shen and Bob Wei as their UC Berkeley MDes graduate thesis, EKPHRASIS addresses linguistic challenges in graphic design. Through its machine-learning interface, it offers real-time visual assistance to bridge this gap. The team has submitted their work to CHI 2025 Late Breaking Work.
Ekphrasis, originating from ancient Greek and Latin, traditionally refers to the vivid description of art through words. Shayne reimagined this concept as a reversed pun to emphasize the power of language, crafting a unique visual language inspired by ancient Western culture.
