130K Instagram followers, 2000 live attendees. Inspired by Mister Rogers 'Neighborhood',
I wanted to connect children around the world through live animation sessions. Every Friday for
an hour, I would animate stories with messages of kindness featuring my book characters Kat and Juju. We traveled to new countries, pursued different careers, and made new friends. My role was social media manager and artist rolled into one, requiring active community engagement. By the end, my young audience called me Auntie Kat.
