Hi there! I’m J. Antolin, a Creative Designer and Illustrator with over a decade of experience shaping accessories, apparel graphics, and product packaging. I excel at turning concepts into tangible designs, from screen printing techniques to 3D prototypes, and I love exploring new materials and processes to push creative boundaries. I’ve collaborated across licenses, brands, and in-house teams to develop innovative products, including 3D AirPods cases, fidget keychains, umbrellas, electronics, and seasonal packaging. In 2020 I started Studbunny, a personal creative project where I’m both illustrator and creative director. I use Procreate for organic illustration, teach myself screen printing at home, and build a world around my Studbunny character. My practice blends painting, graphic design, and product development into wearable art and collectibles, and I’m always eager to learn and share ideas with a team.

Work Experience

Accessory / Apparel Designer (Remote) at H3 Sportgear
January 1, 2023 - September 16, 2025
Scouted after former co-workers recommended me for an accessory designer role; started as a generic & licensed accessory designer focusing on keychains, novelty and utility items; also developed apparel graphics, gained experience in screen printing, color separations, embroidery, flocking, and puff prints; led development of new products never done before, including 3D AirPods cases, fidget keychains, umbrellas, electronics, phone cases, and assisting with wallets, hats, and bags; involved in almost everything the company designed.
Illustrator, Designer & Creative Director at Studbunny
January 1, 2020 - Present
Studbunny is my own creation. I’m the Illustrator, Designer & Creative Director. I learned Procreate to create graphics with a more organic feel, taught myself screen printing at home, and experimented with bleach, heat transfer vinyl, DTF transfers, and more. I’m building a world around my Studbunny character; as a painter, I create paintings that evolve into T‑shirt designs, stickers, and other products. The process is free-flowing: a doodle becomes a design, which becomes a painting.
Jewelry Designer / Specialty Packaging at Bioworld Merchandising
January 1, 2018 - September 16, 2025
Scouted via Facebook, I helped start the jewelry department after initially designing for socks and learning the realities of knitted graphics, yarn colors, and PMS colors. I moved from enamel fill to 3D design, began using 3D files and software, edited CADs to ensure consistent customer presentations, and enjoyed the process of learning and streamlining production.
