Project: Props and Polish (Not Rocket Science Game Studio)
Game Creator: Harrison Lee
Role: Lead Illustrator & Visual Development
I served as the illustrator for a table top card game called Props and Polish (Not Rocket Science), developing the full suite of visual assets for the project, including concept development, character work, and supporting illustrations across the game system and website. All artwork was created in a vector-based style and fully vectorized, designed with scalability and adaptability across multiple game formats in mind.
The project originated from a desire to challenge traditional learning models. Not Rocket Science was designed as card game with interactive activities that make learning engaging, collaborative, and hands-on. The core mission is to reintroduce meaningful, skill-based learning into workplace environments by focusing on future-facing competencies such as curiosity, creativity, analytical thinking, and communication.
The concept directly responds to a common issue in professional environments, where learning is often deprioritized in favor of immediate tasks and performance metrics, reducing development into a rushed or mandatory exercise. This project instead reframes learning as something active, social, and genuinely enjoyable.
In addition to creating the illustrations, I collaborated closely with the graphic design team to integrate the artwork into an established visual system and gameplay template. This required adapting the vector illustrations to fit structured layouts while maintaining consistency across multiple game formats, website and social media platforms.
