& Live Event Serie
– Concept & World Building
Project Overview
Project Overview
Cloud9 was a self-initiated project created to uplift and bring people together through a joyful, imaginative experience centered around vision-boarding and collective dreaming. The goal was to design a virtual environment that served as both a visual metaphor and a community gathering space—where participants could reflect on their aspirations for the year ahead.
The project required:
A dreamlike, cloud-based environment for hosting events and showcasing participant vision boards
A format that encouraged interaction, lightness, and inspiration
Accessibility across devices, including VR headsets, web browsers, and mobile phone

My Role & Process
Creative Concept & Design Direction
I envisioned Cloud9 as a whimsical, uplifting experience—where cloud cars transport participants between floating platforms and horizons. The space was designed to evoke a sense of elevation, playfulness, and calm.
Rapid Prototyping & Spatial Design
Sketched and sculpted the environment using Substance Modeller, Blender and Gravity Sketch
Designed cloud paths, floating vision board displays, and spacious terraces for conversation
Integrated gentle motion, particles effect and sound to create a meditative, hopeful atmosphere
Tools: Gravity Sketch, Midjourney, Substance Modeler, Substance Painter, Unity, Spatial.io
Collaborative Activation & Event Flow
Participants were invited to pre-create their personal vision boards
Boards were displayed in the virtual space on the day of the event
Community members gathered for a guided journey from Cloud 0 to Cloud 9, symbolizing a collective shift toward higher aspirations
Live facilitation and interactive segments encouraged reflection, storytelling, and connection
Technical Execution
Environment built in Unity with spatial anchors for vision boards
Skybox, lighting, and animations designed to feel weightless and dreamy
Deployed on Spatial.io with Spatial+ support for enhanced features and user experience
Outcome & Impact
Gathered a community of Web3 creatives and dreamers for an intimate, meaningful virtual experience
Engaged participants emotionally through an accessible, playful format
Successfully used the event as a promotional and proof-of-concept piece for future immersive work
The project was self-funded and served as a personal statement of vision, energy, and creative direction
The Cloud9 experience received positive feedback and sparked discussions about hybrid well-being and social VR activations
