Meet Mr Doofa
Character development for a start-up software company
Start-up software company Doofa based in New Zealand required help to create a character for their new app. Doofa (derived from ‘What can I doo-fa you’) is a clever app that plugs in to Microsoft Excel, making spreadsheet tasks quick and easy.
Dr Doofa is there to help you through the process – showing you tips and hints along the way as you plough through the latest round of tax returns and invoices.
