Illustrator and 3D Artist

From the start of her career, Cecy Meade has focused primarily on creating two-dimensional characters. However, it didn't take long for her to look for new ways to experiment with new supports such as patches, stuffed animals, sculptures, etc., and that's when she started flirting with 3D design and printing.

This new discipline opened up a new world of creative and professional possibilities that has allowed her to develop products based on her characters and market her own brand. In addition, there are many clients who have decided to collaborate with her to make all kinds of products and projects based on her creations, such as books, video games, apps, toys, etc.
