Coco Moloko was an assignment for the portfolio course facilitated by Make Art That Sells. Participants were tasked to create a book and toy concept based on the manuscript written by Art Director, Zoe Tucker.

​

My goal was to create something simple and approachable for a younger audience. Simple shapes and a vibrant yet minimal palette were the name of the game. I avoided including arms and legs since it detracts from the essence of Coco Moloko's personality. Instead, I made sure that Coco Moloko's expressions were straightforward and easy to understand just by looking at them. As for the toy concept, I envisioned something that my young daughter would play with: mix-and-match plush toys that are interactive enough for little hands.
