Project Link

OrbitEd is an interactive educational website designed to teach middle school students about planetary science through exploration and play. We created OrbitEd during the 2024 Women in Informatics (WINFO) Hackathon, developing both a polished Figma prototype and a functional HTML/JS site. Our team reached the finals with this accessible, game-based approach to science education.

✏️ My Role

I was responsible for all visual design, artwork, and environmental assets in the game, including:

  • Custom character and sprite design (hand-drawn in Procreate)

  • Building and designing the full in-game environment using Unreal Engine Fortnite

  • Designing interface elements, object interactions, and thematic illustrations

  • Crafting the game’s visual language to match the tone: playful, bright, and approachable for kids

  • Collaborating on storyline development and supporting integration into the Figma prototype

My teammate conducted user research and assembled the game flow in Figma, combining our assets into an interactive prototype.
