The Little Team

Meet the artists, producers, makers, and collaborators helping Sky Shen bring The Little Critters mental wellness art project to life.

Sky Shen

Lead Artist | Singer-Songwriter | Character & Story Brain-Parent

Sky Shen

I feel a lot. I think a lot. I put my stories and ideas into song.

Every now and then I come up with something crazy — something that I hope will make an impact on the world.

I’m just so grateful that there are people who are willing to journey with me and help transform these thought bubbles into lasting footprints.

Read more about my inspiration behind The Little Critters on the Meet the Critters page.

Ryan Hays

Character Visual Design Artist

I met Ryan on live-streaming platform Twitch.

Even though he mostly does art streams, I found his channel while he was playing video games with his sister Erin. We got along exceptionally well, and I found him to be creative, imaginative, and a limitlessly warm soul.

When I initially had the idea for The Little Critters, Ryan did the first-ever visual draft of how the critters would look like. They represented my emotions perfectly, and we have kept that original design ever since.

Jasmine Pinder-Choe

Executive Producer | Mentor | Bridge for Passionate Souls

Jasmine Pinder-Choe

Jasmine has had a lot of experience in the arts sector.

She is a multi-talented artist-manager, producer, and mentor to many, and is herself a wonderfully skilled musician. I had the great pleasure of becoming her mentee and friend, and am immensely grateful that she has offered to journey with me to see The Little Critters through.

Apart from providing guidance, she has also bridged me with many like-minded and passionate collaborators, and is the catalyst for many friendships that have since blossomed.

Jace How & Linnah Tan

Song Cover Photography Team | 3D Environment Magicians

Jace & Linnah and I first met during the MV production for March On, which was a song I wrote for the Singapore Paralympic Team in 2024.

I was quickly drawn to their kind and genuine personalities, and was thrilled to discover that we also shared interest in similar hobbies.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with this creative power couple again. Not only do they try their hardest to bring my visions for The Little Critters to life, they also expand and add to these ideas, growing them beyond what I could have imagined alone.

Jace & Linnah are behind the photography and 3D environment designs for the official song arts and MV for the title track, The Little Critters.

Nordytea

Song Cover Art Word Artist | Sticker Artist

Nordy is a close friend who has supported my musical endeavours since my very early days. With her artistic and graphic design skills, she helped to create most of the emotes I still use on Twitch, and the word art for many of my song releases.

Nordy is the artist who did the word art designs for our song releases in The Little Critters, and she is also the artist behind our adorable set of stickers for sale.

grazedpoem

The Little Critters Crochet Artist

Em, or grazedpoem, has a gentle and soft-spoken disposition. But her flames burn strong and bright for her passions.

Every art piece she creates is full of soul, and she is unafraid to speak up for art and human rights.

It brings me great joy to have her bring The Little Critters to life as crochet plushies, which we have available for sale.
