MÉL THE SEAL — Remote Work Solutions for Tired Creative People
Meet Mel: a sleepy harbor seal built from lavender raff, client revisions, lofi beats, low battery mode, and tiny wins.
What started as a small painting of a seal with cosmic eyes became a full mascot-led brand world. I developed Mel’s personality, origin story, visual identity, comic series, emotional language, packaging, merch, stickers, social content, and a card game for freelancers surviving the workday.
The goal was to create more than a cute mascot. Mel needed to feel like the same character everywhere: in a comic panel, on a coffee cup, inside a sticker pack, on a hoodie, and in a tiny animated moment of client-revision panic.
Built with Recraft Studio:
Character exploration, reference-image workflows, V4.1 Vector identity studies, packaging and merchandise applications, social assets, storyboards, and image-to-video experiments.
Always tired. Often late. Still shows up.

❄️ 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.
Character Brief
Name: YETTI
Role: Brand Mascot & Lifestyle Ambassador

As the face of a premium streetwear brand, he brings positive energy, bold style, and a playful personality to every product and campaign. His iconic look and consistent design make him instantly recognizable across every touchpoint, encouraging everyone to Stay Cool. Stay Wild.

B, and the reason matters more than the vote. B opens with the title lockup and the mascot so the brand idea lands before the screens do, A opens with mockups and reads as one more app shot. The gallery is also full of light covers, so B wins the scroll before anyone reads a word
