To design an interactive game integrating two cultural games and craft an interface that allows a public audience to play it independently, without our presence.
Design SolutionSketchQuilt was a collaborative project with fellow
designer/animator Hannah Kim.
We were inspired by the Battleship board game and a popular drawing game from Indonesia. By combining core elements from both, we designed an axis-based communal drawing tool that aimed to facilitate collaboration and creative inquiry. Each axis has five keywords that prompted the drawing, and these words can be replaced and adjusted depending on the discussion’s topic.
The game was placed and playable for the public in the lobby seating area of the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center at Pratt Institute for a month and was later exhibited at Pratt Institute’s Research Open House 2025, which was held on April 24, 2025, at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
