Building ‘Japan Longing Club’

The process of brand building for the podcast ‘Japan Longing Club’.
Animatic

My Brother My Brother and Me (MBMBAM) is one of the biggest podcasts in the English-speaking world. It’s a show about three brothers just being funny together and it’s quite the hoot. What a lot of fans of the series have taken to doing is drawing/animating segments of the audio-only podcast (and short-lived TV show…
Product Design

I recently had an assessment for a product designer position and had a total blast working on it. I was given a couple of trend boards that also included different fabrics and materials to inspire the design of Christmas ornaments.
