Mehran's Steakhouse
Made an internationally-viral restaurant from scratch for one night only. Curated a theatrical dining extravaganza for 120 unsuspecting guests with my two friends, and 60+ of our friends as staff. Read about it here.Featured in The New York Times, ABC, BBC, CBC, Vice, Morning Brew, CBS, Fox, SF Gate, etc
Pursuit 2024
Collaborated on an SF-wide scavenger hunt that over 2k people played, with 300 making it to the finale. Created the viral promo described as "really weird guerrilla marketing" and clue #8, a fake book. Can now technically say I'm a published author in bookstores. Also sewed a very cursed life-sized costume of the mascot.

Led an international manhunt for love
Designed a personal-ads-style website (sfpersonals.com) to find love for my friends. Amassed millions of views across every social media platform, topped the front page of Reddit, 163k site visitors, and 800 applications to date my friends. Featured in The Washington Post. Read about it here.
Beancame The World's Preeminent Beanfluencer
Put up ~100 cryptic bean-themed flyers that linked to a silly survey, got 700 QR code scans and 300 responses in two weeks. Worked my data analysis magic on the results and picked two lucky winners and sent them on a one-way flight to Chicago to see The Bean and then stay there forever. Read the beanfluencing report here.

Sit Club
A parody of Run Club. Gathered a few hundred people in the park, led some sitting warmups, played musical chairs to find the fastest sitter, and then sat. Featured on CBS and in The SF Standard, went viral on Reddit and X. Read my reflections here.
Strippers for Charity
Everyday folks (not professional strippers) pick a charity they want to support, and all the money they earn from stripping goes to that charity. Their outfit, song, and dance is themed around the charity they chose. It was surprisingly wholesome. Peel back the layers here.

Death Duel to Fix The Ratio
Many men in SF tech bubbles complain about the gender ratio. However, none are creating B2B SaaS (Boy to Boy, Slaying as a Solution) ways to fix it. So I stepped up. I also made them oil up before fighting.
Stupid Little Parties for my Silly Little Friends
Like an idiot, I used to think you needed an occasion to throw a party. I have since come to realize that all you need is a dream. Some of my favorites have been Soupsgiving (all liquid Thanksgiving), Alextravaganza (party for Alexes), and the Americaversary (1-year anniversary of my British roommate living in the U.S.A.). Party vicariously here.
animorPFP
It's very confusing when someone changes their profile picture without warning, so I made a tool where you can gradually "animorph" from your old pic to your new one over a few weeks. And you can also turn into a horse in between, if you would like that. The report.
The Advice Line
Built a reverse advice line where people call in to give advice. Turned some of that advice into a song. Read about it in my blog post or on SF Gate.

"The Pit," 2022
Plastic balls, bodypillows, a fitted sheet, misc couchesEgan et al. labored for months (2, to be precise) to complete this avant-garde masterpiece, archetypal of the "Camp" style, rampant in the 2020's with artists of the Zed generation. In an allusion to the universe, "The Pit" contains multitudes, tiny spheres that compose the fabric of a whole - impotent, trivial, and repugnant alone - but extraordinary in composition, the whole much greater than its mere parts.The perimeters of this piece consist of miscellaneous lounging apparatuses, conveying a modern take on the classic conversation pit, a nod to humanity and civilization - the discourse and comradery in contemporary symposium that distinguishes humankind from mere beasts. This structure encompasses the focal point of the piece, the pit, as humanity and the universe, at once both dissonant and enraptured, are thrust together as one.To quote Egan herself on the inspiration behind this tour de force, "I've never met a room that wouldn't be better with a few thousand balls in it."
Turned my house into a historical walking tour
After visiting a historical house walking tour in Alaska, I thought, "I could do that." So I did, mostly made of inside jokes you wouldn't get but anyone with a landlord could probably relate to this one (which marks our antique refrigerator).
