The average worker only gets two days off each week—and what you do with those days is totally up to you. I created my brand to capture that feeling of being off the clock—a time to relax, recharge, and get creative.

Ahcim “Cim” is the face of my brand, IIOFFDAYZ (Two Off Days). He’s a praying mantis and acts as my personal mascot. I first designed CIM in 2020, inspired by the idea of a small but mighty creature that represents me. Most of the time, you won’t see his mandibles—he retracts them, kind of like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch, to blend in better with the people in his world. It helps him come across as less threatening .

My favorite thing about Ahcim is the shape of his head—His design mimics a famous cartoon silhouette. Ahcim’s antennae act as his eyebrows for more expression to the character. This adds a unique layer of personality to his look. It’s those little details that really bring him to life and reflect the vibe of IIOFFDAYZ .
