Mobile apps that allow users to create their own emoji or share the stylized images of Warriors star Stephen Curry and other celebrities are paying off for a small upstate New York company. Moji Maker — with its mix-and-match menu of happy, angry or goofy faces — was the No. 2 paid app on the iTunes chart last week. The company that made it, Moji, recently scored big with its Curry app and is following up with similarly styled apps for two Olympic gold medalists: swimmer Michael Phelps and gymnast Simone Biles. The privately held company — which Camilo runs with his partners, brothers Johnny and Liam Burns — does not provide download or sales numbers, though Camilo said the fast-selling Moji Maker app netted them sales in the six figures within a week. The app features Curry smiling, shooting, dribbling and chewing on his mouth guard.
