"Few opportunities have been as personally gratifying as collaborating with Otter Pops—a brand I genuinely loved as a kid and still adore today. When the makers of Otter Pops, The Jel Sert Company, invited me to create the four new Tropical Flavor characters, it felt like one of those rare full-circle moments in a creative career. Helping shape characters that would leap from my imagination onto grocery store shelves across the country wasn't just another assignment; it was the fulfillment of a childhood dream I didn't know I had until it happened.

 

I've always believed that memorable characters have the power to spark joy, create lasting emotional connections, and become part of people's lives. Whether developing original television series, designing immersive experiences, or building new story worlds, I've been fortunate to spend my career creating characters that invite audiences to smile, imagine, and belong. Seeing children discover—and fall in love with—the new Tropical Otter Pops characters has been an especially meaningful reminder that the greatest creative honor of my career has come from contributing to characters that first inspired me to dream." – Obie
