Ethan is a passionate nerd with a long-standing love for video games. He has a creative flair for storytelling and crafting original ideas, including developing new characters and expanding the current World of Eezoes lore.
How it began:
World of Eezoes (WoE) is an original design concept focused on producing inclusive fantasy media and merchandise. At its core, WoE is a nature-inspired fantasy narrative that brings the world around us to life by imagining rare and elusive creatures that help maintain the balance of Earth's flora and fauna.
The Eezoes were initially created as art dolls, each crafted to be unique and one of a kind. What began as a hobby has expanded, inspired and supported by our rapidly growing online community. Our current goal is to use these creatures and characters to tell stories and create media centered around acceptance, friendship, and learning. We move away from traditional themes of 'good vs. evil' and combat, focusing instead on teaching respect and coexistence with these creatures and the natural world.
We’re excited to continue developing WoE and look forward to bringing you games, books, and eventually, animation!
