Pet Playing for Placemaking
School of Design, RMIT University 
2020 - 2021



In collaboration with Cherished Pets Community Veterinary Care, this project sought to reduce older adult social isolation through a pet-centric and place-based game. The location-based game drew on the power of pets to connect people in the Bellarine region, incorporating physical and digital elements to make pet responsibility a playful, social and community-based activity.
