FRUM GIRL ADVENTURES

Self Portrait / Game App Design

: Frum Girl Adventures is a design concept for the first ever smartphone game based on frum life.The word frum is a word used to describe a very devoted religious Jew. I created this game because I grew up as a frum girl in Los Angeles, and I experienced that the options given to a young girl by the frum community (just as any other closed community) are very limited and defined, just like a video game. Growing up in the frum world, I was given choices of how to dress and act, which rabbi's ideas to follow, and what dreams I wanted to pursue, but all of my choices had to be made according to the frum ideal I was expected to fulfill.
Drawing each page helped me confront the feeling of having to fit the mold and the way it blinded myself to my own inner world. I hope that viewers laugh with and enjoy Frum Girl Adventures.
