In developing "Draw Dice," I conceptualized the game mechanics, selecting elements and designing each dice. My aim was to create an inclusive environment where participants could freely express themselves through art, alleviating the pressure of perfectionism often associated with drawing. By incorporating custom dice prompts and time limits, the game encourages spontaneous expression and emphasizes the joy of the creative process over the final result.

In crafting "Puzzles of the Past," I designed a game inspired by mosaic art, aiming to foster creativity and exploration in basic colors and shapes. Players are provided with a range of colored tiles and shapes to create intricate designs freely or following templates. Offering both solo and collaborative gameplay options, this game encourages players to unleash their imagination anytime or as a pastime with friends.

In crafting "Cache Em’ All," my goal was to merge the concept of geocaching with a twist while incorporating my 3D modeling experience to add an artistic element to the game. I designed the game to encourage students to take a break from their usual routine and explore their surroundings in a fun and engaging way. By using customized 3D printed tokens as caches, I aimed to provide players with a tangible and rewarding experience as they navigate through various locations. My artistic intention was to create a game that not only challenges players but also immerses them in the joy of outdoor exploration. Spring 2024

Based off the Disney film, Zootopia, Zootopia City Patrol features the player as Judy, beginning in the tutorial where you platform through the police academy traversing obstacles similar to those shown in the movie, then typing in a code to unblock the path. The next section depicts the chase in the rat city which has more of a challenge, combining both parts of the tutorial into one stage.
