Mascot Name
"KYRRU" (pronounced Kee-roo)
Species: Kyrru
Nickname: The Carry Spirit
The word has no existing meaning, making it completely ownable as intellectual property while remaining memorable.
Character Identity
"KYRRU" is not an animal, robot, alien, or spirit. It belongs to an entirely fictional species evolved to safeguard treasured possessions. Every KYRRU instinctively organizes, protects, and accompanies its chosen owner throughout life.
Its pebble-like ceramic body symbolizes permanence. The glowing seams represent trust and connection. The floating crystals orbit around it because members of the species naturally manipulate objects through magnetic energy instead of hands.
"KYRRU" mascot is an identifier for premium lifestyle and everyday carry brand.

LIFE OF GEN Z – BALANCED
Meet BALANCED. Not just a mascot. A mirror.
Gen Z is juggling four worlds at once: Education, Relations, Skills,
Growth. They're building themselves brick by brick, moment by moment,
without losing their center. BALANCED is that person — mid-leap, arms
out, red with energy, grounded in wooden boxes that hold their values.
This isn't a character that floats on white. This is a system.
The same figure appears on posters, stickers, social posts, and
merchandise — always unmistakably itself. The red doesn't change.
The boxes don't change. The personality doesn't change. But the
moment does. The context shifts. The character flows.
BALANCED represents what Gen Z actually is: ambitious, relatable,
in constant motion, refusing to choose between their pillars. They're
not picking one path. They're balancing all of them. And they're
doing it with style, with humor, with that "woohoo" energy that makes
growth feel like freedom, not pressure.
This is a brand for a generation that doesn't wait to become whole.
They're becoming whole right now.
One character. One world. Infinite contexts. Pure balance.

Meet ECHO — a creative urban spirit and the face of ECHO, a New York platform for discovering hidden cultural events.
I created ECHO as more than a mascot. He is a humanoid spirit of the creative city: he notices what others miss in familiar places and leads people toward original experiences before they become obvious.
A private rooftop performance in New York. A basement theatre show. An emerging artist’s exhibition. A DJ set somewhere below the subway. ECHO already knows where to go.
He is creative, intelligent, challenging, and deeply intolerant of banality. He has his own attitude: sometimes impatient, sometimes slightly arrogant, always confident that he can see the city’s next cultural signal before everyone else.
For this project, I developed the entire ECHO world from the ground up: the original brand concept, the humanoid urban-spirit mascot, his personality and character sheet, the name, and the stylized condensed typography that became the foundation of the visual identity.
Recraft Explore was especially important in this process. It gave me a strong space to develop ECHO’s visual language, test the character across different applications, and turn one mascot idea into a complete and consistent creative world.
From there, I expanded ECHO into a full brand ecosystem: a city-discovery platform website, an exclusive secret-event invitation, merch, a sticker pack, posters, and short videos that reveal the mascot’s character in motion.
ECHO is not simply a character representing the brand. ECHO and the brand exist together: the platform helps people find the city’s hidden creative life, while the spirit gives that search its personality, perspective, and voice.
Thank you to the Recraft team and the Contra team for the opportunity and support. I loved watching the world of ECHO come alive. 🖤💜🩵
Impressive work!
HOLRIFT is a black cat-axolotl hybrid and the face of the fictional streetwear brand that shares its name.
Born from a rift between darkness and spectrum light, HOLRIFT exists at the intersection of street culture and something wilder. Cool by nature, glowing by design: teal gill plumes that catch light nobody else sees, holographic flame trailing every step.
HOLRIFT doesn't represent the brand. HOLRIFT is the brand.
this cat looks so cool!
