I had the honor to work on their 2024 Advent Calendar.
Objective
Design all of the storefronts for the main scene in the 2024 Advent Calendar.

This year the calendar was based in Paris. All of the buildings had already been completed and it was my job to fill each one with typical businesses that would be found on a Paris street.
Christmas Shop
A place for people to buy their Christmas decorations. The assets for this store were also included in the day 8 vignette.
Cafe
A place for people to meet up for a drink.
This storefront made an appearance in the day 1 and day 7 vignettes.
Perfume Shop
Includes a wide variety of shapes and sizes of perfume bottles.
Boulangerie
There are lots of little sweet treats to choose from at this shop.
Department Store
A store where people can shop for Christmas gifts. This storefront was a part of the day 14 vignette.
Hairdresser
A place for people to go get their hair done. This storefront made an appearance in the day 13 vignette.
Restaurant
A warm and cozy environment for people to grab a bite to eat.
