Our story

Why we made this

Richard Cichero at Cichero Studios, sketching Pepo and Nubi with the animation pipeline on screen

Pepo & Nubi began with a two year old. Every year our founder Richard Cichero travels from Punta del Este to New York to visit his nephews and his wife Vanesa's family. On the 2026 trip he watched what his goddaughter watched, and most of it worried him. Fast cuts, loud noises, nothing underneath.

So he started watching her instead. The words she repeated, the gestures she copied, the exact moments that made her smile. Those notes slowly became a chick who wants to fly before he is ready, and a calm dragon who never rescues him too early.

"Every episode has to leave something good behind."
