"When we set out to create a new campaign for Hazelnut Growers of Oregon, we knew we’d need to do something fresh. Thus, “Hazel” was born—our adventure-loving hazelnut. Nei brought our character and concepts to life through a masterful skill of 3D and attention to detail. His speed, professionalism, and creativity helped to make this campaign launch a huge success!”
