STICKERS • META
I had the opportunity to lead the Messenger Kids Sticker Program, creating multiple themed sticker packs for kids to send to their family and friends. Our goal was to create inclusive, fun, and celebratory art that help kids express themselves and communicate on the app.
WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY
We created stickers for World Mental Health Day, featuring calm critters practicing self care. From laughing with friends, to hugs, to sharing a cup of tea, these critters promote emotional well being for kids.
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
For Women’s History Month, we designed a set of stickers that empowered girls to shine and tell their story. Each sticker features a unique young woman doing what she loves, lighting up the world!
To find out more about this sticker pack, check out this awesome article from Messenger News. Our stickers were also featured on Ad Week in their “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” section.
BLACK HISTORY MAKERS
We collaborated with a phenomenal group of young black cultural leaders to create a sticker collection that celebrated their contribution to Black Culture and History.
“Black History Makers” include in order of appearance: Ashley McGirt, Black Violin, Brian Rice Jr., froSkate, Na’imah Delpeche, and Yelitsa Jean-Charles. Find out more in this Messenger News article.
ASIAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH
We created a set of stickers that celebrates the resilience, strength, and diversity of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage through honoring specific traditions and values across multiple unique cultures.
Find out more about this sticker collection in this Messenger News article.
WORLD WILDLIFE DAY
We created this set of stickers to spread awareness and encourage kids to learn more about the importance of protecting endangered animals. This sticker collection features the top most endangered species in the world according to the World Wildlife Foundation.
FATHER’S DAY
Messenger Kids celebrates the the importance of family, and Father’s Day was a great opportunity to illustrate a pack of stickers that feature fatherhood through furry faces.
OCEAN CONSERVATION
At Messenger Kids adding humor to our designs was an impactful way to connect with kids. Also, who doesn’t love a good sea creature pun? Especially when it raises awareness for Ocean Conservation Month!
FISH OUTTA WATER
Meet Puff and Gill.
They’re fish struggling to adjust to life outta water (now that they’ve grown legs).
I conceived of this sticker pack for Messenger and Messenger Kids, teaming up with a talented team of creatives bringing these lovable bipedal fish to life.
