The Official PBS Kids Donkey Hodie Website

Fred Rogers Productions and PBS Kids came to Curious Media with a request for a Hee-Hawesome teaser and full website to hype up their new show, Donkey Hodie. Working with these partners is always a pleasure!​​​​​​​

Enter your text here...I was the mastermind behind wireframes, UI art, visual design, creating the graphics, and making sure everything came together in the build review.

The Donkey Hodie site is a double Kidscreen award-winner and delivers an outstanding experience for kids!

My skills were put to the test with creating themed UI, 3D-like assets, tons of photoshopping, and making the mobile-friendly UI pop for PBS Kids. I drew a lot of inspiration from the Flintstones and Disney theme park signage to make it all come alive!

Creating responsive layouts and sneaky interactive Easter eggs was a fun challenge. Anything for the kids, right?

Crafting 3D-like UI is one of my favorite things to do!

I love to put on my Photoshop wizard hat to craft unique experiences.​​​​​​​ I turned the landing page scene into a whole new set for the winter season with a few magical touches!

Even though the teaser site had a short life, I made sure it was beautiful and responsive. It was so on point that other PBS Kids sites ended up following the same template!

Why settle for boring wireframes with just boxes and shapes when I can sketch out the environments, materials, and vibe of the show? This approach always gets the team and clients excited and pumped up to the next level!

I enjoyed working with Tara Krick, Jesse Huffman, Jason Lavorante, Kyle Foote, Alan Gorringe, and Leah Fuhrman on this.
