Hanzi Puzzle
An interactive puzzle product exploring Chinese characters through play and deliberate interaction design.
Context
Hanzi Puzzle explores how learners can build intuition for Chinese characters through structured play — not flashcards, but spatial and compositional puzzles grounded in how characters are written and remembered.
Role & scope
Product concept, interaction design, and software implementation — from early prototypes through iterative refinement of the learning loop.
Approach
The work centers on decomposing characters into meaningful parts, then reassembling them through puzzles that reward attention rather than rote repetition. The product prioritizes clarity, calm UI, and a learning cadence that feels deliberate.
Outcome
An ongoing product in active development, refining puzzle mechanics and the learning experience based on continued use and iteration.
