Kitchen Scramble 2: World Cook

Kitchen Scramble 2 is a cooking sim/management game for iOS and Android. It is a sequel of an old Facebook cooking game.

I art directed the project from pre-production through to release, including several live operations updates. I handled art direction, developing the art pipeline from creation, to implementation and optimization in Unity, creating many of the character, appliance, and background art in the game, as well as much of the UI animation and visual effects.

Additional art by Shannon Conrad, Danielle Magpayo, and Patricia Kelen Takahashi.
