Follow Your Waste

Follow Your Waste is an interactive, educational game for kids that follows the lifecycle of New York City’s waste streams. Created for Sanitation Foundation, the nonprofit partner of DSNY, the game uses delightful illustrations and narration from real sanitation workers to tell the story what happens to your trash when it leaves your home.

I was the experience designer on this project, involved from the research phase through to development.

The experience is separated into five waste streams, and includes a sorting stage which tests the player's knowledge of how to dispose of different items.

Colorful, hand-cut illustrations present the lifecycle of each waste stream. The interface's aesthetic recalls early children's computer games.
