WORK/ PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Inspired by the overlooked needs of autistic adults, EMO+ is a board game designed to help them interpret emotions and improve communication. It uses storytelling and conflict analysis to guide players through emotional understanding in social situations. The game has two parts: a warm-up with prompt and emotion cards to build stories and express feelings, and a conflict-analysis where players use movement and discussion to explore perspectives. At its core is the Atmosfield concept—a 3D framework from “atmosphere” and “field.” Just as any color can be made by mixing primary colors, emotional atmospheres are combinations of core attributes. This guided the board and gameplay design, turning emotions into a visual, structured experience.
