LET'S CREATE NOVELTY

I’m an Environment Concept Artist based in Sydney, specialising in creating immersive environments that bring virtual worlds to life. 

 

I’m driven to push creative boundaries, explore new techniques, and elevate the art of world-building through strong communication and collaboration.

Sketches/Practices

Sketch as a form of practice.

​For me, it contains playfulness and curiosity, often leading to unexpected discoveries.

Emotions are conveyed through the interplay of colour and light, enhancing narrative and storytelling.

Design
Project

Under the direction of Dr. Chris Barker, I concentrated on researching and developing a prototype for 'Slow Game.'

Game Design
With Me

This is a research-based game design project focused on incorporating slow living and slow game concepts into game design.

 

In today's fast-paced world, people are seeking more mindful and present experiences, and through this project, I aim to create an immersive gaming experience that prioritizes the player's experience over winning.

 

By exploring the intersection of slow living and slow games, I hope to propose a potential direction for game design that promotes mindfulness and companionship in the post-pandemic era.

Period
2018-2021 - RMIT
Master of animation, games and interactive

I created this 2D frame-by-frame animation during my first year at RMIT University. The animation aims to subtly capture the often unspoken emotional burden of women's menstruation.

I see animation as a powerful tool to address the 'unspeakable'—it can express deep emotions through symbols, music, and movement. My goal for the end of this animation is to foster a sense of community and visibility.

Prompt Engineering 

Exploring the boundaries of generative AI capabilities, the artist's post-AI workflow, and reflecting on its ethical use.

AI: Midjourney.
