Cactus Boi - Animated Stickers

During my time working at Bare Tree Media, I was given the opportunity to design and publish my own messaging stickers.

I decided on a cactus for my character because they are truly the most deep and emotionally expressive of all plants: prickly on the outside and squishy on the inside. So spikey, yet craves warm hugs. A tragic figure of our generation.

This project was done using Photoshop and animated in AfterEffects. It is currently published in GIPHY and in the Apple Store.

NEU - Animation Club Mascot

I was tasked to redesigning Northeastern University's Animation Club mascot after the previous one was considered scary for young children. So hence, Pawsworth was born! I was in charge of creating new artwork/sprites of him for events and announcements.

Parents Day - Animated Stickers

During my time at Bare Tree Media, I animated several Mother's and Father's Day animals stickers to be published on GIPHY.

​All the 2D assets were created by my colleague Obi Little, and later animated by me in AfterEffects.
