Character Designer

Graphic Designer

While working at The New Children's Museum, I came up with and designed two mascots based off of the Museum's installations. The mascots are incorporated into marketing materials, Museum signage, and educational materials. The mascots are used throughout Museum collateral and featured in the Museum's coloring book, art instruction videos, education packages for schools, and so much more.

Art

Art is a colorful, creative bird inspired by The Rain House installation in the Museum.

 

Art will encourage you to be creative by having you draw something from your imagination or asking you to answer a curious question that sparks creativity

Play

Play is an energetic, spontaneous fox inspired by The Wonder Sound installation.

 

Play will encourage you to try something new by asking you to do a playful, out-of-the-box activity with family and friends or by challenging you with an activity you wouldn’t have thought of doing.
