They are the creators behind the cute and sci-fi-esque Octonauts childrens book series that follow a team of eight animal adventurers that live in an Octopod under the sea. An animated television series based on the Octonauts books will be launching globally in Autumn 2010.
Meomi's work has been featured in numerous illustration and design books, while their characters have appeared on clothing, toys, merchandise, and magazines worldwide.They have created work for clients such as: Google (Teahouse Fox!), Yo GabbaGabba, Electronic Arts, Hasbro, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and CBC4Kids.
Meomi are also the designers of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic mascots (Quatchi, Miga and Sumi... and Mukmuk) which was the first time they ever had their characters on maple syrup. Meomi enjoy spending their time drawing and animating strange creatures and worlds. They are kind of shy but they love to chat about video games, sci-fi TV shows, and cute animals (in particular baby sloths, sasquatches, and those flat faced kittens with googly eyes.)
