University of Alberta Residence Services wanted to create an approachable mascot of sorts that could help humanize messaging. This series of bears can be widely applied to a variety of needs.



The University of Alberta is home to more than 5000 students living in residence. To engage with residents and keep a light-hearted outlook, I created a series of adorable bear illustrations. The bears are used in everything from fun promotional items to health services notices. Not all of the news will be happy, but these bears can help convey warm feelings.
