“At Teluli Resort, guests become part of the story—immersing themselves in an innovative floating community while uncovering the mystic powers of a wild sea spirit hidden within Teluli’s sunken ruins. Spanning across the waters of Raja Ampat, Indonesia, the resort invites exploration through vibrant environments and interactive experiences rooted in the village’s origin. Discover your chapter in nature’s unpredictable story at this enchanting enclave.”
For this project, I experimented with 3D modeling environments using Rhino for the first time. I heavily focused on concept development, creating a strong foundation in both storytelling and visualization, where I could pitch this concept as an authentic resort experience based on an original IP. Inspired by the stories and environments that first sparked my love for themed entertainment, Teluli Resort is my way of passing that magic forward, inviting others to fall in love with worldbuilding just as I did.

Attached below is a trailer I created for the resort, with fly-through footage of each environment.
Resort Branding:
To further develop Teluli Resort, I created postcards that would be purchased in the gift shops by guests and tri-fold brochures that would be given upon arrival, featuring a map that highlights the resort’s experiences, dining, shopping, entertainment, recreational activities, etc.

One of the biggest challenges of creating the interactive experience was highlighting the technical details, which I did through experience design documents. Considering factors such as the interactive variations, abandonment, cool down, guest capacity, integration of show systems, etc, I translated my concepts into realistic documentation:
