Valdi is the mascot and soul of Cervecería Valdivia — a small-batch craft brewery from a town most people had never heard of until he put it on the map.
He arrived with the first hop shipment: nobody invited him, nobody asked him to leave, and he's been the face of the brewery ever since.
In personality he's a host, not an entertainer — unhurried, quietly curious, always already there when you walk in, never the loudest presence in the room.
Today, travelers come from across the world specifically to stand in front of his plaza statue, taste the beer, and take a photo they'll struggle to explain to people back home.
Valdi didn't make the beer famous — the beer made the town famous, and Valdi made sure everyone knew where to find it.

mitti — born of the soil, guarded by the glow
Entry for the @recraftai mascot challenge. https://www.recraft.ai/project/138146a3-3e19-436a-8a9b-f5da44f742e5
Mitti is a small, terracotta companion who lives in the soil of Indian farms, watching over crops with quiet care. Grown from a single seed, his clay body holds a glowing amber heart at its core, and the sprout on his head reads the land like an antenna reads the sky.
He's an AI/GIS-powered farmer's companion — but he doesn't look like a gadget. He looks like he grew there.
Love this the mitti text logo is so attractive👍
NOMNOM is a playful green raccoon and digital clutter collector. He feeds on duplicate files, forgotten screenshots, open tabs, old notifications, and messy folders. Curious, mischievous, and always a little hungry, he turns digital cleanup into something satisfying rather than frustrating. His fluffy green fur, dark eye mask, striped tail, and cozy patchwork outfit make him instantly recognizable across every touchpoint.
I built the full mascot system in @recraftai, including the character, campaign visuals, mobile UI, and sticker pack, all designed to keep NOMNOM recognizable across every touchpoint. 💚

KIN is a small golden spirit who lives somewhere between a moment and a memory.
Still. Curious. Endlessly devoted to the small things.
When you give him something — a cup of coffee that tasted exactly right, a walk you didn't plan, a quiet second before the day started — he disappears for a moment. And when he comes back, there's a new golden vein running through your bowl. A fragment, kept. A crack, filled with gold.
He never asks if a moment was big enough, beautiful enough, or worth remembering. For KIN, everything is worth keeping.
KIN — The Moment Journal is an app built around that same belief. You collect small moments from your day — no tracking, no ratings, no pressure. Each one becomes a fragment in your personal bowl, held together by golden veins. Over time, your bowl fills. A growing, golden-threaded collage of your life, exactly as it was.
Nothing needs to be significant to be worth saving.
