Flora

Art Direction • Concept Art • UI Art

Flora is a personal passion project of mine: a small garden where players take care of quirky plants of their own, naming them, customizing their pots, and checking in like a windowsill living on their phone. Players can take notes on their plants, and take seeds to grow new plants by mixing them together.

I wanted the whole experience to feel painterly and truly relaxing, built on earthy tones and stone-like textures mixed with colorful UI backgrounds that serve as a vibrant backdrop. For some of the plant concepts, I used AI-generated references as a starting point, then painted over them so every asset still carries a personal, handmade touch.

The UI leans into vibrant, colorful backgrounds that give each plant screen its own vivid backdrop.

Concept work for the Nursery and Shop, pot studies, plant cards, and seedlings, all painted with the same earthy, stone-like textures.
