Projects

Escape Orbit

I've always been fascinated by how humans can calculate perfect orbits to launch real spacecraft into space, so I turned that idea into a simple yet engaging 2D web game!

True Color

This web app lets you see the world through the light that's absorbed and not reflected into your eyes. It's a new way of looking at reality, based on what's not escaping.
