Swingscape

VR Art Installation (2018)
Concept and 3D Artist 
​
A fine arts collaboration between artists Joel Ogden and Anna Landa for Adobe's Festival of the Impossible.  Swingscape incorporates a VR headset and a custom built swing set and was created using the VERA toolkit. As if having swung too far, the guest swings through the clouds in an upside-down fantasy world as a massive city hangs from the world above. The installation was shown for three days and attracted more than 200 guests each day.

Tetronic

Four-Way Round Tetris Game (2013)
Game Designer, 3D Artist, and Animator

This prototype was developed at the Carnegie Mellon Entertainment Technology Center in just two weeks for the Jam-O-Drum experimental game platform. Four players battled head-to-head to move their pieces into the most advantageous position, using the wheel affixed to the table. Hitting the drum pad at the center of the wheel would rotate the game piece as it fell into place.
