Count on June Bug!
A Preschool Math Comedy Series
Count on June Bug! is a co-production between the WNET Group and Double Scoop Studio. I served as the series co-director and developed the art direction for June's tiny big world. The mixed media shape-driven environments and character designs are a reflection of the mathematical principles and geometry found in nature. The series aims to encourage young viewers to experience the math that's right outside their front doors. When you need a friend who adds up to fun, you can Count on June Bug!

June has boundless curiosity and a courageous streak that makes her a natural learner. She may be tiny, but June’s energy and optimism give her a real zeal for adventure. Her outsized desires can send her tumbling into plenty of sticky situations, missteps, or even stuck on her own back. But, her perseverance and open-minded nature turn out to be super skills when it comes to math!
A unique motion approach was developed for each leading character in order to best communicate their personalities.

The Motion Buzz
We partnered with the incredible production team at Split Studio to fulfill the animation and composite across all episodes. Split's design-forward approach made them a perfect partner in finding the show's stylized, shape-driven motion language.
