Long Ago

Divilu Productions began its roots back in 2006 based on a graphic design assignment and a quiet dream. Back then, owner Kate Ackley had quietly wished for an animation company. She always had an affinity for imagining fantastical stories, crafting characters and animals that have become an elaborate world. Her time spent in fanfiction and fanart have helped give a foundation to what became Divilu Productions.

The Divilu, from where the studios received its name, has roots in Latin for blessed and wolf. Essentially, Blessed Wolf. Created by Kate at the age of eleven, the desire was to create a unique animal that at times seemed like a best friend. With a love of wolves and griffins, the idea was born. Early renditions included a creature modeled after a few Pokémon before landing on what is seen today. It’s meant to convey a sense of friendliness and innocence while being a protector.

As they grew together, more skills were added to the sandpit being played in. Names and ideas were tossed out before the skeleton of a book series was crafted. Using these bones, Kate excelled in classes using a growing cast of characters as the foundation for her assignments leading her to top marks and inspiring others as she has always dreamed.
