✨ 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.

B. I was impressed with the hero section on B. Who doesn't like watching a chef cooking?Option B gives a strong impression in the first 3 seconds about what this website has to offer. More deeply, this visual successfully stimulates the sense of smell, without looking like a restaurant website.
