Immersive nature experience where you view the effects of water pollution through the eyes of a bear.
// DESCRIPTION
An immersive and interactive experience that explores water pollution from the perspective of a bear. As the player visits a river to feed, they move through the environment and observe the surrounding landscape.
// WHAT I LEARNED
Learning Unreal Engine's Niagara systems, material blueprints, and foliage tools made the process genuinely exciting. The real lesson was time management. Too much early polish meant less time to iterate and push the design further. Even so, the final result landed close to the original vision, and it only made me want to keep going. Better animations, richer audio, and a whole lot more to explore.

Creating player agency and immersive storytelling within Figma.
// DESCRIPTION
The story follows a man investigating a space station that has stopped responding to communications. As the player explores the station, they uncover clues and make branching choices that alter the direction and outcome of the story.
// WHAT I LEARNED
Taking shortcuts early compounds into bigger problems later. I assumed my existing Figma knowledge was enough, and when I hit its limits I patched problems with workarounds instead of learning the right systems. The result felt glitchy and unreliable. Next time I'd invest upfront in understanding Figma's advanced prototyping tools before building. Despite the technical shortcomings, thinking through player agency and branching narrative structure was the most valuable part of the experience.

Translating Gothic architecture into an immersive 3D spatial experience.
// DESCRIPTION
Co-Creator: Aven Skolrud. This project explored how the symbolic and emotional qualities of Gothic cathedral architecture can be translated into a virtual environment. With a partner, I designed a 3D chapel space with pews and a large swinging thurible positioned at the center of the structure. The environment was experienced through VR, allowing users to move through the space and engage with the spatial elements.
// WHAT I LEARNED
Working in Blender on a topic I genuinely cared about made a noticeable difference in my focus and attention to detail. Combining 3D modeling with A-Frame and Glitch to build a VR environment for free was a highlight. A-Frame was completely new to me, but strong documentation and prior HTML experience made the learning curve manageable. Texturing and colour proved challenging, so I focused on 3D modeling and coding while my co-creator Aven handled the windows and finishing details. Overall this is one of the projects I'm most proud of, and it showed me how much I'd grown across previous projects.
