Internship project completed during June-Aug 2022. I was part of a diverse team of designers and medical professionals developing a mobile app that among other sections would feature educational mini-games. My role was to come up with game concepts and turn them into playable prototypes on Android. I also partially created content, such as scripts, artwork, and animations within existing style guides.

 

"Play with Zuri" is a collection of 3 mini-games for femme-identifying persons of color with a history of foster care placement who didn't have a close family to talk about sexual and reproductive health. The games touch on topics of condom negotiation and use, and communication with caregivers and health providers through a trauma-informed prism while being fun, enjoyable, and replayable.
