Pogo is a visual extension of my personal and professional brand. Inspired by Blacksburg’s association with frogs, my own personality traits, and the idea of constant forward motion, Pogo represents growth through curiosity, adaptability, and creative problem-solving.

The development of Pogo and the collection Pogo: College Adventures was used to explore the question: How might mascot design be used to translate personal experiences from college into a cohesive visual language to support/inform personal branding to show potential employers?
