Environment design for a board game project. Created in Maya. Everything was constructed and textured by Malia Dahlquist. This illustration was used in a board game concept that won two Gold ADDY awards from the American Advertising Federation, Phoenix in 2023.

The goal of this project was to take an existing board game and redesign it for a different age group. I took the traditional game of “Chutes and Ladders” and redesigned it to appeal to an audience of 16+. I designed and modeled the 3D environment to be an industrial warehouse of ladders and duct piping. The players have spy pieces and a spinner with a bullet.

This student project was recognized at the 2023 American Advertising Federation Awards in Phoenix, AZ.
