My work starts where standard genre conventions end, treating every project as an investigation into new forms of interaction, unexpected systems, and tactile mechanics.

A 2D competitive arcade game for two local players who have to play ping-pong. But it’s curling, so you have to polish the surface to move the paddles. There is also a swearing mechanic that allows players to curse their opponent for extra points.

01 / BRIEF — The Challenge Not to revolutionize the genre, but to collide three completely unrelated ideas—ping pong, curling, and explicit trash-talk—into a single room where two people actually talk to each other again.02 / CONCEPT — The Idea A retro 2D arcade setup where sliding ice physics match table tennis timing, powered by a mechanic that lets players swear at each other to throw off shots—turning awkward mashups into pure analog banter.03 / PROCESS — Design & Development Fusing friction physics, microphone audio triggers, and local two-player loops to see if these mismatched concepts could form a cohesive, unexpectedly smooth competitive flow.04 / RESULT — The Outcome A nostalgic local multiplayer build that proves mixing absurdly distinct elements can create something that feels whole, organic, and deeply human.

A series of games united by a fish theme, a single controller, and a common goal. Specifically, to help people manage stress and aid in wrist joint rehabilitation.

01 / BRIEF — The Challenge To design an unconventional controller-first experience that merges physical health recovery with game mechanics, targeting wrist injury rehabilitation through play.02 / CONCEPT — The Idea Two marine-themed minigames—one a tactical fishing sim, another a pulsing rhythm trial—played entirely by squeezing, releasing, and flexing a custom-built stress-toy peripheral.03 / PROCESS — Design & Development Fabricating custom sensor hardware, mapping analog grip pressure to dynamic game events, and balancing therapeutic motion curves with genuinely engaging arcade loops.04 / RESULT — The Outcome A hybrid hardware-software experiment that transforms physical therapy into an engrossing game—proving that unconventional controllers can heal hands and surprise players simultaneously.

A small 2D arcade game for mobile devices and Windows computers. The game is designed to help players pass the time on the subway or at the office; the player’s goal is to keep the balls from falling for as long as possible.

01 / BRIEF — The Challenge To craft an ultra-light distraction built to live inside a tiny, resizable window—designed entirely for dead moments like pending downloads or packed subway rides.02 / CONCEPT — The Idea Stripping video games down to their bare, charming essentials: low cognitive load, instant feedback, and code engineered purely for playful, lightweight absurdity.03 / PROCESS — Design & Development Writing ultra-lean code scripts, distilling minimalist pixel assets, and optimizing window-state management for zero-friction user engagement.04 / RESULT — The Outcome A tiny, delightful desktop window toy with mobile port that turns ordinary downtime into an excuse to experiment with lightweight software design.
