-About

For the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, I was part of the creative team leading the design of the Games Mascot, Borobi. My role was to vectorise illustrations depicting Borobi playfully participating in the sports that will be played at the games. These iconic signature poses were developed into a range of merchandise, including stamps, coins, plush toys, and wearables.

Borobi was quick to become a fan favourite. All 90,000 of the bright blue plush toys were sold out before the end of the Games.
