Interactive feature chronicling a man's tragic relationship with an AI chatbot; to immerse readers in his claustrophobic point of view, I designed responsive, cross-platform layouts that replicated the experience of scrolling through an obsessive chat log. Additionally, I built parallax animations to give the static drawings depth, visually reflecting the blurring boundary between reality and digital obsession.Art directed by Michael Bucher
