Mr. Meow's Kitchen
Date: September - November 2025
Role: Fabrication Lead
Skills: Fabrication, Game/Interactives Design
Mr. Meow's Kitchen is a collaborative cooking game created by myself and 6 other students at UT Austin as a semester-long Senior Design Project. The game features two physical interactive kitchenettes with sensors, and a digital game projected on a screen, and utilizes motion tracking to track player movement. Team must race against each other to cook a "Stargazy pie" by collecting ingredients from around the room and preparing them at their kitchenette.

I used a Vectorworks model to determine dimensions
Being the fabrication lead, it was my responsibility to design the physical kitchenettes that would be used in this game, build a cardboard prototype for testing, and finally, organize and lead fabrication in the shop. We built the kitchenettes out of plywood, with a small area under the main surface for our microcontrollers and sensors, oven doors cut out of the front, and a decorative top with cat ears to match the artistic direction.

We playtested this project with our classmates, who had a lot of fun running around collecting ingredients, chopping and frying them on the kitchenettes, and trying to bake a Stargazy pie before their opponents!
