Vinus is an original 3D mascot character — a determined anthropomorphic otter made entirely of glossy grapes. With a sharp gaze, confident posture, and a bold V-shaped belt buckle, Vinus feels like a small rebel leader from an animated world. The character combines playful fruit-based material design with a strong personality: stubborn, fearless, expressive, and impossible to ignore.

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. 💚

Fyah is the mascot of The Yard, a club for hot sauce lovers. At first glance, Fyah looks tough: furrowed brows, a stare that doesn't impress easy. He's picky, curious, and judges every bite before he approves it. But nobody's ready for what happens when he finds the perfect heat.
I had so much fun creating this with Recraft. Would you be part of the club and be friends with Fyah? 🔥

Took Fyah off the screen and into real life. Pins, merch, and a club worth joining
Over the past 3 years, I’ve created several mascots for mobile apps.
The key lesson: a mascot should never be decoration.
It should guide, reassure, celebrate, and become part of the product’s voice.
I’m now preparing KEEPLI for the Recraft × Contra Mascot Challenge — not as one cute character, but as a full system across identity, stickers, mobile UX, and physical applications.
A strong mascot doesn’t sit next to the product.
It belongs inside it.
