Statement
My work is made up of humour, absurdity and social commentary through personal experiences. I’m driven by the little quirks that make a character relatable.
My background of working with clients alongside personal and collaborative projects gave me a versatile approach to my craft. I love experimenting with animation techniques and styles in pursuit of the right tone for each specific project.
This year I decided to delve into unfamiliar territory and create an interactive installation inspired by my past experience of integrating into a large tech company. "The Onboarding" is a game that throws the player right in the middle of its chaotic corporate cacophony. Please, don't get distracted by the welcoming committee.
"The Onboarding" - An Interactive Installation
The Onboarding
"The Onboarding" is an absurdist interactive installation that acts as a tribal initiation ceremony to your lame new corporate job.
Participants are thrown into their first day on the job in a cult-like workspace. They must navigate through a never-ending calendar as their rite of passage within the company, all while fending off distractions by a peculiar welcoming committee.
It is designed as a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the idiosyncrasies and absurdities present in modern corporate environments.
