My Vision:
AquaDogs originated during my senior year studying Industrial Design, with a vision to create interactive, screen-based physical playsets that connect seamlessly to a companion mobile application. The concept builds upon the established intersection of physical toys and digital experiences, while expanding the market by deepening interaction within the physical play environment itself. As the ideation process evolved, the vision grew to include individual collectible figures designed to connect both to the playsets and the mobile app. These physical tokens extend engagement beyond the home, allowing users to maintain a continuous connection to their digital companion wherever they go.
Individual toy module connects to both playset and app.

Here are some current updates and ideas for how the project will move forward.
Current Updates:
The next phase in my toy development process, alongside the continued development of the mobile app, involves designing the fishbowl-inspired modules that will integrate with the digital experience. Rather than pursuing a plastic module as previously explored, I transitioned to a plush-based design. This shift reflects a more intentional alignment with my core message of environmental stewardship and sustainability.
