Who we are
A boutique studio crafting characters with quiet charm and personality.
Sowbean is a small character studio with a big heart.
We create original worlds built around warmth, humour, and gentle personality — from quietly expressive characters to the moments that bring them to life.
Our work blends clean design with emotional storytelling. Every character is crafted to feel alive, relatable, and full of quiet charm.
Whether it’s a soft smile, a sprout of optimism, or a dash of chaos, we build characters that people connect with instantly.
We believe great characters make the world feel a little lighter — and we’re here to create more of them.
What we believe
We believe in simplicity.
Clean shapes, quiet lines, and design that breathes.
We believe small characters can say big things.
A tilt of the head, a tiny smile, a gentle frown — emotion lives in the details.
We believe in warmth.
Characters should feel like companions, not mascots.
We believe in humour that’s soft, human, and kind.
A smile that understands rather than demands.
We believe design should feel alive.
Even the simplest characters have stories within themke the world feel a little lighter — and we’re here to create more of them.
Our story
Sowbean began with a simple idea: small characters can hold big feelings.
What started as a series of gentle sketches — soft shapes, warm outlines, and a sprout of optimism — grew into a studio dedicated to expressive, emotionally resonant design.
Every character we create is built with intention: a balance of clean form, subtle humour, and relatable personality.
Sowbean’s worlds are quiet, warm, and full of charm — the kind of universes that feel comforting, familiar, and alive.
Our mission
Our mission is to create character worlds that feel warm, human, and quietly expressive — designs that make people smile, feel seen, and connect with a little softness in their day.
