Dumpy

Dumpy began as a simple sketch—a playful hybrid of a dumpling and a rounded silhouette—and quickly evolved into a character with its own personality and visual identity. What started as a digital experiment became a tangible creation through sticker drops across downtown New York City and a match-cut video bringing the mascot to life.

The project reflects my love for character design, visual storytelling, and exploring how small ideas can grow into memorable experiences.
