Featured Project

Dino Chef

Dino chef is a choose your own adventure game based on dinosaurs and their diets. Dino Chef allows kids to follow an interactive story of Pterry the Pterodactyl as the users help him cook food for all his Dino friends. Within the game, players can read flashcards about each of the different dino characters, look at recipe cards for what each dinosaur wants to eat, and are able to drag ingredients into a bowl to cook food for the dinosaurs. Throughout this project, I illustrated the entire background scene and all the dinosaurs and foods. I created a UX case study to do research on how to make the interface and game friendly for a wide range of kids. Lastly, I designed high-fi wireframes and a prototype using Figma to bring the game to life.
