Shawn "Shawnimal" Smith is the creator and
owner of Shawnimals, a character design studio that
believes in the power of unbridled, astonishing,
ridiculous joy. Each Shawnimal comes with its own
story that starts in the vast and colorful Shawnimaland
universe, but is then given over to you to continue
each unique creature's adventure in your own
universe. The company's huggable friends appear as
designer toys, lifestyle accessories, apparel, comic
books, video games, and as anything that fosters
companionship. Shawnimals believes that the best
artistic experiences are participatory and affordable,
and that – with an open heart – friendship can happen
between you and just about anything. Even facial hair.
Shawnimals was awarded first place in the Social
Media Marketing category of last year's competition.
