In close collaboration with the internal Notion team, we had the pleasure of bringing their Notion assistant to life. This assistant is Notions response to windows word clippy. Minimal, sophisticated and warm. 

With a strong roots in a hand-drawn visual style and animaiton this project brought a unique set of challenges in making sure animation would be integrated seamlessly into Notions existing UI. 



We worked closely with Roman Muradov, Notions inhouse illustrator, whos concept sketches and guideance we took as a base for how our assistant would emote and respond to user input.
