Melting into Life is a multi-course, Asian-fusion dining experience centered around the transition from winter into spring. Each dish represents a different stage of change and growth, using food as a way to communicate emotion and narrative. The project combines cooking, storytelling, visual design, and video editing to create a cohesive experience that extends beyond the plate. Rather than focusing only on the food itself, the goal was to design a structured journey where each course contributes to an overall story.
As a personal project, it explores how intentional design can shape meaningful moments, using a meal as the medium for both storytelling and interaction.
CONCEPT & INTENT
Drunk driving is a significant issue among teens and young adults in the United States, with one-third of fatal car crashes among teens aged 15–20 involving alcohol and around 1,000 fatalities each year.
We aim to educate new and prospective drivers about the dangers of impaired driving and its potential consequences, ranging from DUIs to fatal accidents. By presenting these risks through a realistic first-person setting and familiar situations—a friend’s birthday, a late night out, or having had a little too much to drink—the game encourages safer decision-making without being preachy.
Our target audience is primarily high school students and young adults, who can be easily influenced by peers and may not be fully aware of the consequences.
