Career

Little did everyone know that his family was always there to support him. His mother was the one who designed his first costume, which then became its iconic trademark.
The concept of Blippi was created when Stevin moved back to Ellensburg. He saw his nephew watching low-quality YouTube videos. From then on, he dressed up as a bright colored person who dances around the different areas and environments in America.
He published his first Blippi video in January of 2014. Initially, Stevin has to do both the acting, all the filming, and editing of the video. He took inspiration from other children entertainers and educators like that of ‘Mr. Rogers’. However, Stevin wants to give Blippi the image of an educational, child thinking, and acting person. Blippi is a millennial version of a character, its learning approach is far different than your normal wholesome and educational content that parents usually search on YouTube. Through his content children will learn through colors while Blippi runs through an open area of the playground, parks, and construction sites.
