In the Artists words: With a background in graphic design, she faced challenges that she never had to before, but was determined to make Ronald Squirrel come to life. The idea was to have something that appealed to kids. Ronald appeals to kids, so, being the owner of the local McDonald’s, Ronald was the obvious choice.
