Jonathan Sierra (Head Illustrator), Drew Griffith, and I collaborated to create Buddie!, an app designed for travelers exploring new countries. The app aims to help users authentically connect with their surroundings by offering insider tips from locals and the unique opportunity to be paired with a certified local ‘Buddie.’ These Buddies act as personal guides, providing tailored tours and insights that go beyond typical tourist experiences. Our goal was to create a platform that fosters genuine cultural immersion, making travel more meaningful and memorable.
