Recraft Challenge designing a logo for a brand
What's the inspiration behind the design elements of your new logo?
Glitch is a shapeshifting blob because "unstable energy" needed a form that never sits still. The glitch effects (jagged edges, color-split, flicker) double as a pun, he's not broken, he's overclocked. Electric pink/cyan/green ties him to the can, with little spark/bubble...

✨ KEEPLI, a mobile app mascot created specifically for the Recraft × Contra Mascot Challenge
🧩 Problem
People constantly save photos, notes, places, ideas, and small reminders, yet most of them eventually disappear into digital noise.
Apps can store information, but they often lack the emotional feeling that something meaningful is being genuinely cared for and kept safe.
💡 Solution
That is how KEEPLI, The Little Keeper of What Matters, came to life.
KEEPLI is a warm, observant, and quietly optimistic mascot that keeps forgotten ideas, meaningful places, photographs, tiny joys, and memories, then brings them back at the right moment.
I specialize in mobile product design and have worked on 350+ mobile apps, so KEEPLI was never designed as a standalone illustration. From the beginning, it was created as a character capable of living inside a real digital product.
For this project, I developed:
a distinctive silhouette and personality
a system of emotional states
a custom wordmark and app icon
a sticker pack
mascot integration across the mobile interface
a physical keepsake kit
🎯 Result
The result is a cohesive mascot system that remains recognizable across the mobile app, brand identity, stickers, and physical applications.
My portfolio already includes mascots created for real mobile products, some of which were also developed with Recraft. KEEPLI, however, is an original concept created specifically for this challenge as a complete character, brand, and product system.
💜 Not everything lost is gone.

Mascot Alimation
Just wrapped up a couple of logo directions for a recent pet food branding project.
Right now I'm leaning toward the first concept with the orange splash, but I'm curious what you think.
Which direction would you choose?

❄️ YETTI — Stay Cool. Stay Wild.
Introducing YETTI, is a premium lifestyle mascot created for a fictional streetwear and outdoor brand. I reimagined the classic yeti as a friendly, confident, and adventurous character with a bold visual identity featuring icy blue fur, orange horns, and signature blue, white, and orange apparel.
The project includes a custom YETTI wordmark, a consistent mascot system, branded apparel, packaging, sticker designs, social media concepts, merchandise, and multiple poses to demonstrate character consistency across different applications. Guided by the motto "Stay Cool. Stay Wild.", YETTI represents creativity, exploration, confidence, and self-expression through a cohesive, modern brand identity.
