Process and rationale

How the work is built

Context

Each project starts from a clear use case: songwriting support, spatial assistants, immersive play, or artist-facing creative tools.

Workflow

I prototype the interaction first, then build the systems behind it: gameplay logic, UI states, API calls, asset integration, debugging, and iteration loops.

Rationale

The goal is always a playable or usable output, supported by process evidence that shows how the final result was designed and built.
