🎉 Congrats to FDM student Luphia Landry for earning 2nd Place in CTAHR’s BS Oral Presentation Category at the 2026 CTAHR Student Showcase & Research Symposium! 👏
We’re proud to celebrate her outstanding research and representation of UH Mānoa Fashion Design & Merchandising 🌺
[FDM 339 3D Retail Store Design] Dr. Kang enhanced the curriculum by integrating virtual reality (VR) headsets. It enabled students to view their 3D retail store models so realistically that they felt as though they were stepping into an actual retail store via VR hardware.

Recipient of the IIS Award (2024–2025) for excellence in teaching + ERC funding (Fall 2026) for mentoring student research 👏
Well deserved recognition for her impact on students and innovation in FDM/FCS & CTAHR!
