Bibi is a pink character with two ears.
Bibi says that a sandwich is two slices of bread and anything you can put in between.
Bibi loves making sandwiches and believes no sandwich is the same as another, and that’s all right.

Bibi is also the main character of an activity book inspired by Sando (Japanese sandwiches) and the color combinations I observed in Japan. The title is Bibi Makes Sandwiches, and the book’s first edition will be published in Italy by Raum Italic in 2025.

The illustrations inspired Kitty Bunny Pony to create two fabrics and a series of products based on them: Bibi and Friends and BIBI’S Sandwiches.

Together with Jinjin Kim, the owner and art director of the brand, we developed the fabrics. She suggested some color variations and repetition, and we ultimately created two fabrics that retain the playful and whimsical essence of the original illustrations.

With this project, I received the Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators of New York in the Surface/Product Design category.

This is Bibi and Friends
