I'm Positive Game

I'm Positive

Web Design, Game Design, Writing, and Art

I created a responsive website to showcase a video game I worked on.

"I'm Positive" was a winner of the 2014 CDC Games for Health Game Jam, one of the largest Game Jams in the United States. The theme was HIV awareness.

Our game was selected by the CDC to be used for a research study in 2015.

It's an interactive narrative interspersed with quirky mini-games. I worked on the game design, art, and writing. I also edited the trailer for the game.

Cigarette Noose

3D Design Case Study

I collected cigarette butts to form a noose. The project did not smell nice.

I created the piece for a color and composition class. The assignment was to repeat a small element to form a composition. My inspiration came from Kurt Vonnegut, who equated cigarettes with “a classy way to commit suicide.”
