Alfi mascot concept
Guuh designed a character for Alfi, the AI writing tool from text.ai. Friendly, a little weird, immediately likable.
This page is for the crew.
A running list of launches big and small.

Guuh explored what a mascot for Amplifier Security could look like. They loved it, and the LinkedIn post got solid engagement. Cybersecurity with a face that isn't a padlock.
Guuh sketched poses for PostHog's hedgehog Max. Rodolfo built the 3D version, every quill placed by hand. Lottie Coxon, Max's original creator, saw it and liked it. Keeping that thread warm.
João reimagined Asana's celebration creatures. Took a few rounds to get them feeling like they actually belong in the same room. Once it clicked, it clicked.
Guuh built out a full pose sheet for Detach's raccoon. Scheming, scrolling, mid-crisis. The two original founders had opinions. Good ones, but a lot of them.
Mascot
We rebuilt mascotti.studio from the ground up. The old site made it hard to track what we were shipping, and the case studies were buried under too many clicks. The new site fixes both.
The homepage is a full-viewport character showcase. A few of the characters we've built, scattered across a dark canvas, all visible at once. We went back through years of project folders, hard drives, and Dropbox archives to pull together every version of every character. 3D renders, merch mockups, illustration variants, early concepts. A lot of this work had never been collected in one place before.
The launch log you're reading now keeps a running record of everything we ship, dated and visual. New entries land at the top, so the site stays current without a redesign every six months.
We also stripped away everything that wasn't earning its place. Faster, simpler, easier to maintain.
Mascot
Guuh Barroso illustrated the group showcase piece for the homepage. We use it as the anchor visual across the site.
Dojo Islands
Tumbles started out as just another character in Dojo Islands, until it became clear he was stealing scenes. Once that happened, the question shifted from "Who is Tumbles?" to "Where else should Tumbles show up?".
We built the playbook to answer that. Personality, voice, visual rules, do's and don'ts. Everything a team needs to put Tumbles into a game, a piece of content, or on a shelf and have him feel like himself every time.
ClassDojo
Behold DojoBot. An AI assistant that lives directly in the ClassDojo workspace. He is a company-wide concierge, handling everything from answering company questions to granting software access. We ditched the generic profile for a fully realized character, giving a tool and process a personality.
