This personal project is a collection of 21 animated emojis and expressions inspired by the city of New York for use within iOS Messages.
Visual Design Responsibilities
I designed, illustrated and animated the whole collection. The challenge was to work within the iOS file size limit which is about 20 frames of animation total all the while preserving quality.

Performance:
I posted a select few of these stickers on Giphy. They did trend on Instagram stories and Snapchat under the GIF search section. As of February 2021, the select stickers and various other collections since have received over 951.9M views! And have trended consistently on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and across various other platforms where the Giphy sticker search engine is featured.
