On our blog we talk a lot of about our talented mommy and daddy designers and how they work hard to create our unique line of baby keepsakes, including personalized growth charts, alphabet posters, and personalized tshirts for kids. Well we thought it was time to give you a little inside look at the inspiration behind some of the designs by going straight to the individual designer.
This week we asked designer Julia W. about her inspiration for one of our newest big sister tees, the Sweet Treat Big Sister Tshirt, which is truly sweet indeed. Here’s what she had to say:
I have always had an affinity for doodling. I spent my childhood doodling in sketch pads, in the margins of my homework…basically any writable surface. Once in college, I took plenty of “serious” art and design classes, but I would always find myself going back to my “doodly” ways, creating things free-form, from my own imagination and not following any particular set of artistic rules. Working for Petite Lemon has now legitimized me as a professional doodler, which is pretty much a childhood dream fulfilled!
I came up with the style for the Sweet Treat tee from a (what else?!) doodle that I did while sitting next to my 18 month old who was taking a bath…I’ve learned to multitask! I am particularly excited about designing for children since I had her, and her sweet, youthful energy brings out my own. Even better: I started designing this tee shortly after I found out I was pregnant with my second baby which is due this June! You better believe I’ll be dressing them in Petite Lemon Big Sis/Lil Sis tees soon!
