Rio 2016 Olympic & Paralympic Games' Mascots
Character Design
I had the great pleasure of being part of the main team of creation and development of the
2016 Olympic and Paralympic mascots Vinicius and Tom at Birdo Studio!
The characters inspired a wide range of products, so the artwork was carefully refined to ensure it looked perfect in every format and application.
The mascots were a big hit, eventually starring in their own Cartoon Network series, where I helped shape the early development and designed new supporting characters.
To this day, Tom remains the most beloved and recognizable Paralympic mascot. It was such an honor and a great personal achievement to see how deeply Paralympic athletes connected with him and felt so warmly represented.
