about but cute

    a character universe for all of the ways we feel

    the simple idea

    we create characters people can see themselves in

    some days you're anxious. some days you're grumpy, sensitive, overwhelmed, excited, awkward, or completely in your own world.

    but cute turns those feelings into characters with personalities, stories, and a world of their own.

    why we made but cute

    a lot of characters are brave, confident, adventurous, or larger than life, so we thought there should be room for the anxious ones, the sensitive ones, the grumpy ones, and the oddballs too.

    the cast

    every but cute starts with a feeling

    the world

    but cute is more than a cast of characters. it's a growing universe of places, stories and little experiences built around them.

    we're building characters to connect with

    but cute is building a character universe for anyone who's ever felt a little different, a little too much, or just a little out of place.
