Sandspiel

Sandspiel is a virtual sandbox that lets people of all ages play, paint, and experiment with real-world elements—sand, water, fire, plants, wind, and more. Inspired by sandplay therapy, the natural world, and the early web, Sandspiel offers a gentle sanctuary for expression and enrichment. 

I re-designed Sandspiel's core drawing experience, developed a fun visual identity, and ideated systems for people to program their own cellular automata.
