DETAILS
Project Phoenix is a standalone real-time 3D application built in Unreal Engine 5 that empowered the RTFKT Clone X community to fully visualize, customize, and interact with their digital identities. Designed as both a utility and a showcase, the experience allowed users to connect their wallets, load in their Clone X character avatars, and explore an expansive set of features, from a fully interactive wearable locker and dynamic photo studio to a full 3D Clone X gallery.
Project Phoenix offered an accessible and polished window into what digital ownership could look like when brought to life in a real-time environment. It was a major step forward in community engagement, unlocking new tools for storytelling, expression, and immersive exploration within the RTFKT ecosystem.
I led the design, UX, and development efforts in Unreal Engine 5, building the entire experience from the ground up. This included crafting UI systems, creating real-time rendering environments, integrating wallet-based asset requests, and developing tools that enabled the community to interact with their avatars and collectibles in meaningful ways.
