Kano Avatars

A vector illustration of four unique, mix-and-match character avatars. Characters include a pink-haired unicorn popstar holding a microphone, a dark-skinned skater with spiral glasses and a skateboard, a purple-haired artist with a rainbow shirt holding a giant pencil, and a blonde character wearing a fake mustache disguise holding a slice of pizza.

Kano World was a social platform where young people, aged 7-14, could learn to code and get creative with technology. I took the lead on redesigning the user avatars from the ground up, from design to working with the engineering team on a flexible CMS where I could add new items every 2 weeks when new content was released on the platform.
