About the project

Custom patterns created entirely with the editor inside Animal Crossing in 2021. The collection uses a shared red-and-gold visual language across rugs, cushions, textiles, display furniture, and architectural details, turning individual pixel designs into one cohesive environment.

The captions identify the custom-authored patterns separately from the surrounding game objects and environment.
