Children’s Character Animation is not a service I offer independently, it is part of how I build apps. Every educational app and story app in this portfolio includes animated characters, and this section pulls that animation work together so you can see it clearly.
The characters here were designed, illustrated and animated by me as part of larger app projects. The walking cycles, talking sequences and celebration animations were all built to run inside iOS apps and Windows educational software.
All of this work connects to the same goal: building engaging, high-quality educational content for children. Read about the mission.
Planets and Dinos Kids Lab
For Eugenides Foundation
Published on the App Store and on Google Play Store
Commissioned by KidLab | iOS | Android
A commissioned educational AR app covering planets and dinosaurs, developed for KidLab as a companion to their physical game range. The owl appears as the in-app guide character throughout. The Children’s character animation work covers the owl guide character in multiple states, augmented reality object placement and rotation, dinosaur movement sequences including walking, roaring and falling, and planet rotation animations. Seven activity modes are built into the app: virtual reality, 3D hologram, puzzle, memory game, comparative diagram, photo and video, and an information section.
Pinocchio
Interactive Storytelling App for iOS Published by Minoas PublicationsÂ
Client work for Minoas Editions | iOS | 2012
An interactive storybook app developed for Minoas Editions, one of Greece’s largest children’s publishers. The app brings Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio to life with animated illustrated spreads, full narration and interactive reading modes. The Children’s character animation work covers character movements, scene transitions and interactive elements across 18 illustrated pages. All app development, animation integration and App Store submission were handled by ReadnLearn. The illustrations were provided by Minoas Editions.
Brand New World
Internal project | iOS and Android | Completed, not released
A fully illustrated interactive storybook app developed in-house for both iOS and Android. The only ReadnLearn app built for both platforms. The app follows Christina and her friends through a richly illustrated story with full Greek narration, highlighted read-along text and built-in games including interactive scene activities and a drawing and colouring game. All illustration, character animation, narration integration and development were done in-house. The app was completed but never submitted to the App Store or Google Play. It remains the most technically complete internal project ReadnLearn has produced and directly shaped how later client projects were approached.
Need Animation for Your Educational App or Book?
Animation is part of every app I build. If you are planning an educational app or a story app that needs animated characters, the conversation starts with the illustrations — and I can handle both.
