01 // PROBLEM

What needed solving

Technical portfolios often force a choice between fast, readable facts and memorable interaction. This system is designed to provide both without making WebGL a prerequisite.

02 // CONTRIBUTION

What Derrick owned

Product direction, content architecture, React and Astro engineering, Three.js interaction, Blender asset direction, accessibility, and performance verification.

03 // OUTCOME

What exists now

An evolving public build that documents the difference between visual prototype, production foundation, and living interactive system.
