Creative Director on Stika 2023-2024
Working with a small team of developers we’re developing a short narrative-driven horror game based on a true story. As the Creative Director and the Director of Narrative I worked closely with my Art Director and Game Designers to create levels, characters, and mechanics. Overseeing all levels of production, and responsible for all of the narrative in the game.
Narrative Design work for AoE IV: The Sultans Ascend
Worked closely with the Lead Narrative Designer and was personally responsible for all text collectables within the campaign. Helmed the research and development and fully implemented them within the proprietary game engine. Started visual development for opening cinematics for some campaign levels.
The Walking Heist
Written/Directed/Produced by: Larysa Hrabowych
Director of Photography: Rati Choudhary
Lights/Sound: Jilly Awner
Cast: Yessenia Rivas, Carl Ellis Grant, Sigmond Varga
A story within a story, and an investigation of life. This 2018 project was crafted as a Thesis interactive installation, during which participants were encouraged to break with any preconceived notion of “rules”. The experience was designed so that no matter the route you took the story would still unravel in a profound way, in which the end still felt like a natural end.
Swept Away in the Great Escape
An auditory adventure that takes the audience on a physical journey of wonder and investigational play, to encourage curiosity and interaction with self and others.
Semifinalists.
The project was conceived by the NYU IDM Team and created for the 2016 Walt Disney Imagineering’s Imaginations Design Competition. The competition is a way for students and recent graduates to showcase their talents and for Walt Disney Imagineering to identify new talent. I was Participant #1: team leader, head researcher, logo designer, and story creator.
