Background

Intertwined is an interactive location-based experience located in Carnegie Mellon University. Working with a client, we aimed to design a safe space for guests across diverse social identities to share and connect with others via personal stories.

My Responsibilities

Creative Lead / 3D Artist

Art Direction

Created mood board and communicated with the Sound Designer, UX/UI Designer and Programmer to make the experience cohesive in theme.

3D Modeling

Developed a 3D environment designed for projection onto the three walls within the interactive room.

Visual Research & Concept Creation

Our project aimed to create an interactive installation that encouraged self-reflection and made guests feel acknowledged by using a retro phone as the main input.
To address concerns about engagement, my role involved coordinating with the client and our team to develop appealing and calming visuals for the installation.


Upon meetings with the client, we decided on having two environment assets: the archive room and the dreamy scene. The guests begin their experience in the archive room scene and will be prompted to share their experience in the dreamy scene. The projected image shows that the environment is "actively listening" through a room that slowly changes to a completely different space, responding to the guest input.
