Working with Rotterdam rainfall-data startup Sky Echo, our multidisciplinary team explored how weather information could improve urban living. My role combined interface design, user research, and prototype testing.

People plant virtual seeds tied to real locations, while live rainfall guides growth and placement. Collecting and exchanging seeds creates a playful reason to notice weather patterns and build shared awareness.

Interviews and on-the-spot testing began with physical, business-oriented concepts. When the pandemic changed public life, we pivoted toward a gamified digital prototype that made abstract environmental data accessible and experientially relevant.
