Widower’s Wood Board Game

I contributed to the design of the board game Widower’s Wood, with my most significant achievement being the development of the premium chest insert. This insert was engineered to securely organize and store all game components—not only the core game, but also the expansions, the predecessor title The Undercity, and all stretch‑goal content from the Kickstarter campaign.

Because nothing like this existed at the time, I had to design the entire solution from scratch. I used a combination of Adobe Illustrator for precision layout work and SketchUp for 3D modeling and spatial planning. This allowed me to prototype, refine, and validate a highly complex storage system.

The project pushed me to quickly learn new tools, solve unconventional design challenges, and collaborate across teams to ensure the final product met both functional and aesthetic expectations. It ultimately became one of the most distinctive and well‑received additions to the product.
