Selecting animals as mascots and team names often stems from the belief that animals represent qualities such as pride, bravery, and toughness. When Shepard and I discussed this concept, our aim was to reimagine the traditional team mascot as a symbol of resilience against climate change. This led to the creation of Climate Clash."
This collaboration with Shepard marks our third project together, and I'm immensely thankful for the opportunities to combine our efforts, his activism, our friendship, and the invaluable lessons he's imparted to me over the past 12 years."
