Overview
We created a VR experience as part of a health education program targeting kids across the Pacific Islands, combining curriculum, film, storytelling, and interactive games. I was the sole artist responsible for the entire VR component, developing the level design, shaders, lighting, and environmental art from scratch.

conclusion
This project really pushed my skills as both a Technical Artist and Art Director. Working solo on all the visual elements while designing for 8-9 year old’s taught me how artistic choices directly impact learning and user psychology. Balancing stylized aesthetics with educational storytelling showed me how to create experiences that entertain and teach at the same time. Having the privilege of crafting a VR experience for kids who have never seen a headset before was an incredibly humbling and meaningful experience, and I tried to keep that purpose in my head throughout the project.
