What it is
An explorable 3D sunflower field: a quiet place to wander, pause, and leave a thought behind.
The idea
Not every gift needs to be grand — this one is intentionally light, built purely to make someone smile for a minute.
Design direction
Soft yellows and warm cream, with rounder shapes and gentler motion than the rest of the portfolio's projects.
Interaction
Walk through the field with keyboard or on-screen controls, drag to look around, and select a sunflower to leave a note. A little yellow tulip marks a saved thought.
Technical implementation
A browser-based 3D environment with interactive flowers, camera navigation, and responsive controls for both pointer and touch input.
Challenges
Getting the motion to feel playful rather than gimmicky took several rounds of easing and timing adjustments.
