Pucker is the sourest bear in the bag — a chubby pink bear permanently frosted in sugar crystals, whose entire right arm turned lime green the day he ate his first FizzBear. As the mascot and self-appointed Chief Sourness Officer of FizzBears sour candy, he guards the bag, distrusts anything sweet, and communicates almost entirely through side-eye and slow, disappointed head shakes. Every bite still makes his whole body flinch — and he will never, ever admit he loves it. The green arm isn't a costume; it's a warning. If your face isn't scrunching, Pucker isn't done.
Built entirely in Recraft Studio. The character was locked through Exploration mode — dozens of directions, one survivor — then held on-model across every application using reference-image workflows, with a single master render driving the whole system. The name-logo was built in V4.1 Vector.

Really strong character hook. Pucker feels funny, memorable, and perfectly built for a sour candy brand. Good luck

Genio — Designing an AI Mentor Kids Would Actually Want to Learn With
Educational apps often focus on content, but children build relationships with personalities, not interfaces.
This project began with a simple challenge:
What if learning felt like spending time with a trusted companion instead of completing another lesson?
Genio was designed as an original AI learning guide—not a pet, not a superhero, and not another cute mascot. Instead, I explored what an encouraging mentor for children aged 8–12 could look like: curious, expressive, energetic, and always ready to celebrate progress.
The goal wasn't to create another character.
It was to design a digital personality capable of living across an app, animations, stickers, classrooms, merchandise, and future educational experiences.
Using Recraft, I developed the mascot alongside its complete visual identity, expression system, brand language, and interaction principles to ensure consistency across every touchpoint.
