This 3D render presents a stylized plastic figurine inspired by mortician, author, and death-positive advocate Caitlin Doughty. The piece reimagines her iconic persona in the form of a sleek vinyl-style collectible, capturing her signature bob haircut, bold red lipstick, and signature dark glasses with doll-like charm and subtle edge.

Designed to balance a sense of playfulness with reverence, the character stands confidently against a dreamlike, surreal backdrop. She holds a single red hibiscus an emblem of fleeting beauty and remembrance hinting being raised in Hawaii where she started her mission of demystifying death and encouraging open conversations around mortality.

The sculpt emphasizes polished materials, crisp stylization, and toy-like texturing to evoke the feel of a limited-edition designer figurine. From the glossy finish of her dress to the subtle stylization of her features, every element was crafted to honor Doughty’s unique blend of elegance, wit, and death acceptance.

We were ecstatic to work on this project, transforming one of the most culturally influential voices in the death-positive movement into a modern pop icon.
