Story of Casimera

Ode to Lola

A heartfelt journey through my grandmother’s life in this interactive 3D world. Every object in the room holds a piece of her story, memories, and struggles.

why this project?

My siblings and I grew up with Lola by our side. Lola lived with us from the moment we were born until her passing. I don’t have many regrets in my life, but not being able to make you proud while you were still here is one of them. This immersive experience lets you explore her world, keeping her legacy alive through meaningful interactions.

I will miss you, Lola. You are too loved to ever be forgotten.

about me

Hello there, I'm Jennie. I'm a creative developer based in Montreal, QC.

I'm a graduate of Interaction Design and Development at RRC Polytech. I’m passionate about telling stories and expressing my ideas, though speaking is something I sometimes struggle with. I find that creating things to tell stories is my way of expressing myself without relying on words. I love starting new hobbies, though I tend to drop them once I discover a new one to explore.

If you're interested in my working with me, please shoot me a message at [email protected]
