Inspired by worlds like Labubu, KAWS, BE@RBRICK, and Gentle Monster, we’re building an iconic character brand that’s equally at home on a shelf, in a gallery, or on the street. I’m looking for a 3D Designer & Animator to help bring this vision to life through high-quality renders and motion animations.
