Nick Jr. AAPI Heritage Month 2021

AAPI Heritage Month 2021

In 2021, Nick Jr. produced an in-house short film to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. Our team collaborated extensively with other departments from concept to design. My primary role involved designing characters that aligned with the storyline, with a particular focus on crafting relatable representations of a grandparent and grandchild in Asian culture.
