Interactive Educational Game Development

The Project

The San Bernardino County Stormwater Program needed an engaging way to educate residents about proper waste disposal and pollution prevention. Over the years, our team found that community members responded more positively to Spot, a friendly canine mascot, than traditional government messaging. To build on that connection, we developed an interactive online game that transformed environmental education into a fun, accessible experience.

My Role

  • Developed Spot, the program mascot, and helped establish his role across multiple public education campaigns
  • Created the game concept and educational framework
  • Collaborated with developer, designers, and client stakeholders throughout production
  • Managed project timelines, feedback cycles, and implementation
  • Ensured all educational content aligned with county environmental guidelines

The project expanded the reach of the county's environmental education efforts while reinforcing a recognizable and trusted community brand. Our game provided an engaging way for residents to learn proper disposal practices and reduce pollution in local waterways.
