A drawing becomes a character.

The transformation

From a line on paper
to alive in the crowd.

Act 01

Find the personality

We turn logos, sketches, and rough ideas into a character with a clear silhouette, memorable expression, and unmistakable point of view.

Act 02

Engineer the performance

Materials, sightlines, balance, ventilation, and range of motion are considered together—because the person inside is part of the design.

Act 03

Make the entrance

After finishing and quality checks, the character leaves the workshop ready for game day, school spirit, brand activations, and thousands of high-fives.

Looks amazing.
Moves even better.

Our starfish mascot was created 11 years ago. With annual cleaning, it is still in pristine condition. It’s lightweight, easy to wear, and the kids just love Sammy Starfish.

Original thinkers since day one

Half a century of
making the impossible wearable.

Carol Flemming opened her costume shop in 1972 and helped move the mascot industry forward—from hard-soled mascot shoes to molded cooling helmets. Today, that same inventive spirit guides every character the studio builds.
