I came on to this project early in it’s conception as an artist. Initially we were a very small team tasked with making a MMO in partnership with National Geographic.

This gave us the opportunity to use National Geographic Kids magazine to test run our characters and find out what kinds of animals were most popular. The results dictated our first avatars released.

WildWorks was always listening to their audience and responded quickly to content suggestions that included new avatars and pets. It launched in 2010 and by 2016 there were over 16 million registered players. Latest numbers from 2020 are a lifetime total of 130 million players.

  • I created Game Style Guides, Marketing Style Guides, game art, UI, concept, landing pages and feedback to licensees which included toys, plush, and general merch.

  • Created a DAM for all Animal Jam vector assets

  • Managed 2d and 3d pipelines

  • Managed external partnership production

  • Reports: 15+ artists that included: concept, animation, 3d modeling and UI

  • Interviewed and hired talent for the studio
