Overview

As an in-house designer at HBO, I was part of the core creative team behind the Game of Thrones Viewer's Guide — an interactive experience built to deepen audience connection.

The challenge was to go beyond translating the visual and narrative complexity of the television series — enhancing the show with a digital experience that provided a deeper level of lore drawn from the book series.

Drawing on Game of Thrones' rich historical and visual mythology, we created family trees, immersive infographics, and even the first official map of Westeros — earning Emmy nominations in two consecutive years for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media - Enhancement to a Television Program or Series.
