My name is Nao Romero and I am a first generation Mexican/ Puerto Rican professional artist for animation and children's literature. I have worked for amazing companies like DreamWorks TV, Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop, Illumination, Facebook, and more! My work has been exhibited at countless of conventions and amazing galleries like Gallery Nucleus.

What is Anxiety Fox?

I am the creator of Anxiety Fox, a small brand I made to try to spread acceptance and awareness of mental disorders. Anxiety Fox was created in order to help me comes to terms with my own disorders by imagining them as an innocent creature that I shouldn't hate, but find ways to live with. My main goal is to help others feel they are not alone and they are still amazing people.

I will forever be grateful for the support I am given for this character and allowing me to help others for a living. I have donated time, goods, services, and more to mental health resources in order to make them more accessible to more people who need it the most. In the end of the day, my biggest goal with Anxiety Fox is to give back.

What is HelloStrays?

I wanted to create a "main brand" that will house Anxiety Fox, Bug the corgi, and more! Dogs and animals are my muse and my main source of happiness and I hope to spread that happiness to people all over the world. Having my goods under a umbrella brand, instead of my own name, helped me immensely and released me from the pressure of using my personal social media pages for things outside of studio work and just having fun.

I am proud to that HelloStrays gives back to the dog community, breed clubs, rescues, and more. I have donated + fronted costs on the production of custom goods to give all the funds to amazing organizations, helped with community events, and more. I am forever thankful for the support so I am able to help dogs all over the country.
