Spine animations

Here you'll find some animations I created in Spine, both for Cooking Diary and personal projects

Character customization system

I created the character customization system for Cooking Diary, a key feature allowing players to design unique male and female avatars by customizing everything from skin tone to outfits, setting a new standard for player expression in the time-management genre.

Working closely with our art and dev teams, I built a robust system that now offers over 8,000 personalization elements, including:

  • 1,776 outfits

  • 88 facial feature sets

  • 440 hairstyles

This feature significantly contributed to the game’s success, helping Cooking Diary win the People’s Choice Award at the 2019 International Mobile Gaming Awards and the People’s Voice Award at the 2020 Webby Awards. Through regular content updates, we continue expanding these options to enhance player engagement and personalization.
