I was the lead art director and illustrator for Nearpod’s comprehensive K-8 math curriculum, Nearpod Math.
My first task was to design the cast of characters for the series. We wanted to represent students from all walks of life, and create two versions for K-5 and 6-8 lessons so that students grew familiar with the characters over the course of their educational journey.

Next I collaborated with our UX designer, illustrating assets and informing how the curriculum would look on the website.

Afterwards, I created templates for our Nearpod Math video series that included animatable characters, letter and symbols, backgrounds, and a style guide.

Currently, I’m illustrating icons for our expanded math curriculum. Here is a sneak peek of some of the completed icons.
