I illustrated and designed a style guide for Sesame Street called “Our Neighborhood!” This is a cute, graphic refresh of our characters, used for digital web games on SesameStreet.org, apps, and licensed toys and products!

Had the unique opportunity to work with other character designers in-house and Henson Studios to design new characters for an international co-production! As part of a team, I helped on the initial sketches and designs for these characters.

Ahlan Simsim—“Welcome Sesame” in Arabic—offers a warm and joyful welcome to early learning to young children across the Middle East, especially those affected by displacement. Designed for children ages 3-8, Ahlan Simsim features familiar faces Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Grover, two brand-new Muppet friends named Basma and Jad, and a mischievous baby goat named Ma’zooza who eats everything in sight.

Ahlan Simsim is part of a broader humanitarian program of the same name—a partnership between Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) —that aims to address the devastating impacts of crisis and displacement by delivering early learning and nurturing care to children and caregivers affected by the Syrian refugee crisis.

We designed a book to teach simple math concepts to preschoolers in English and Spanish! The book offers parents and teachers tips as they read aloud to their children. This was part of our outreach initiative, Sesame Street in Communities.

We created a series of digital storybooks for SesameStreet.org. "Your Amazing Brain," is our most recent digital book starring Grover, who teaches kids about the human brain and what it does. Read the whole digital storybook on sesamestreet.org

An alphabet of animal letters! This was part of Sesame Street’s licensing "Watch Me Grow" kid’s line, but was not used. I loved the alphabet I made so much, I had to animate it.

Created a retro-art style guide of old, vector 70s looking art! Adapted some artwork from old Colorforms to be used on products.

Mockups are for fun and were for a pitch - we tried to find modern companies that make retro-looking clothing and products. These sadly do not exist! Were for pitch purposes only.

We created a series of Sesame Street Emoji for licensing and for Apple iPhone stickers! I created 20 new “emotions” for Cookie Monster, Oscar, and Elmo, and helped animate gifs. Download in the iTunes app store!
