Read More Design Review Part 1: Video Game Children’s Stories
What is This? I wanted to make an animation that retold old children stories (like Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise), except with various video game characters in a soft, cute aesthetic.

Read More Upcycle Inspiration: Plushies
The inspiration for my upcycling project started with the numerous stuffed animals I have lying around my house, particularly the cute, mouthless style of Hello Kitty.
