Scuba Scavenge
Over a 3-month-long project, our team created a motion-capture video game for individuals who’ve experienced a stroke to provide physical therapy exercises. As the producer, UI/UX Designer, and artist, I played an important role in shaping the game's identity and user experience. Scuba Scavenge is the first motion-tracked minigame I was the producer for.

Game Flow
Golf & Gait
Designed to support stroke rehabilitation, the game encourages physical therapy through playful, balance-focused interaction. Players lift and lower their legs to swing at a virtual golf ball, with motion capture ensuring that real-world movements translate into meaningful, in-game feedback. Golf and Gait is the second motion-tracked minigame I was the producer for.
