PEWI Ecological Simulator

PEWI Simulator

USDA • Iowa State University

PEWI (People in Ecosystems/Watershed Integration) is a web-based educational game designed to help users understand the environmental consequences of agricultural and conservation practices.

While the underlying code, interface layout, and ecological modeling were engineered by Iowa State University's NREM program, Laura was commissioned to create the game's visual components. Her work focused entirely on illustrating the environmental backgrounds, custom iconography, and the interactive isometric land-use tiles, bringing a cohesive, tactile feel to the digital ecosystem.
