About Us

Hello! Welcome to my little world of cheerful fruit and veg characters - lovingly created for little minds and those young at heart alike.

It all started a few years ago when I began doodling fun food characters just for fun. A friend's little one took a particular liking to them (the pineapple was a firm favourite!), and that’s when I thought - maybe there’s something special here.

At first, I had the drawings printed on baby grows as gifts for friends' newborns. It was such a joy to give something personal and unique - and it's something I plan to return to in the future. But for now, I’ve launched this shop to bring my illustrations to life as colourful wall art for babies and young children, and anyone who enjoys some happy fruit & legumes! We have some in our kitchen! 

Each piece is designed to be bright, bold, and bring a smile.

🍓Meet the Team

This is very much a family effort.

I’m the one doing the drawing - though at the time of writing, I’m heavily supported by my 14-month-old twin daughters, and my partner, who brings the wild and wonderful ideas to the table.

She’s the creative brain behind some of our most... ambitious concepts (the radish on a surfboard? That took me a full week to develop!). The twins provide notes and feedback - although they can’t quite talk yet, we like to think their reactions count as market research.

🎨Why We Do It

We believe that children’s spaces should feel joyful, imaginative and filled with colour. All our prints are made to order using a trusted print partner — so there’s less waste, and every piece is printed just for you.

Whether you’re decorating a nursery or picking out a thoughtful gift, thank you so much for stopping by. We hope our fruity little characters make you smile — and brighten up your space.
