Platefull


Platefull is a game of inquiry, listening, and compassion. Instead of a traditional sit-down board game, we designed a game where players physically embodied challenges in life by balancing a plate full of stress balls. Through the game, players practice sharing different challenges and giving support to each other.

Collaborators: Vishesh Gupta. Miroslav Suzara.
An animation I created showing one of the main game mechanics of Platefull. On a player’s turn, they can provide support to another player by throwing the support die to that player. The player who did not receive any support adds an additional stress ball to their plate.

Knowla


Knowla is a puzzle game that combines visual art and problem-solving. Players hold physical brushes with fiducial symbols that allow them to paint on a digital screen. I designed and developed the game using Processing and reacTIVision.

Collaborator: Yuqi Yao.

Birds of Iceland


Birds of Iceland is a collaborative board game with the goal of protecting Iceland’s native birds as climate change takes a toll on their environment. Tasked to design a dream toy for a nine-year-old child, we arrived at this idea from learning about their interests and their desire to spend more time with their parents.

Collaborators: Thomas Hsieh. Zach Sehgal.
