I had the unique opportunity to create branding for Island Hoppahs, a small travel business with big personality. Founded by a couple from Boston, the name is a playful nod to the local accent—perfect for a company that helps travelers bounce from island to island.


They envisioned a fun, memorable mascot: a sunglass-wearing pineapple hopping across tropical destinations. I brought this character to life with bold lines, vibrant colors, and tons of energy. Drawing the mascot was a blast and helped set the tone for a lighthearted, approachable brand that stands out in the travel space.


This project was all about blending charm and clarity—creating a visual identity that feels as fun and carefree as the vacations Island Hoppahs helps plan.
