My role on this project:
Art director, concept artist, illustrator, UI and UX designer for web-based 3d cooperative game. Created gameplay interactions as part of the design team. Then storyboarded, illustrated, created graphic design elements and 3D textures to help bring interactivity from concept to completion. Collaborated extensively with engineers, animators and modelers to maintain consistent UX, graphic design and art direction throughout the life of the project.

Collaborated with developmental and educational experts to ensure that gameplay satisfied defined curriculum goals and delivered tangible educational outcomes. Worked directly with children in play-testing providing feedback and assessment to production team.
