Ever wish you could meet a real icon? Well, now you can!
Help Leonardo da Vinci figure out who stole the Mona Lisa. Or you can head to the North Pole and save Christmas with Santa. You can even hang out with Frida Kahlo while she preps for a new art exhibit and learn how to draw a self-portrait!
I worked with the animation team Kneeon.tv, and Director Kirk Larsen (they’re both incredible–check them out), to create 3 episodes in a ‘choose your own adventure’, interactive miniseries.
The ICON series was part of an incredible creative initiative led by CAMP (partnered with Make It with Walmart) to give free access to interactive education, crafts, recipes, and science projects during Covid when every school-age kid was learning from home. It opened the door to a world of creative topics and accessible do-it-yourself projects.
