Bossy Bear is an American-South Korean animated series based on the books by David Horvath. The show follows the adventures of Bossy Bear and his best friend, Turtle, while reflecting Korean-American culture throughout. Bossy Bear is an extroverted, imaginative character with a zest for life, while Turtle embodies a more introverted and thoughtful nature. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of childhood, showcasing their unique friendship and the valuable lessons they learn along the way. Nick Jr. design team and I developed a dynamic graphic package to highlight the fun and friendship at the core of this exciting new series.
I led the design and animation team alongside the directors. I developed the concept, created mood boards and style frames with junior designers, and designed and animated the graphic packages in collaboration with 2D/3D animators.
