White Bear Studio has welcomed Buzz Burman to the Bear Cave, in the role of interim creative director.

Not to brag, but in his back pocket Burman has won numerous awards including: a Cannes Lion, NY Festivals International Advertising Award, three Pentawards, the Guardian Children’s App of the Year 2014 and 2015, the London Book Fair International Excellence 2016, UX Award user interface award 2016 and  a BAFTA nomination for his work with children's brand Night Zookeeper.
