Mini & Me exclusively hand makes animal cloth and wool felt dolls from bunnies to unicorns. Each piece is limited and designed to be loved for years to come.

I started Mini & Me about 10 years ago while I was a uni student. I originally made jewellery with a friend and sold bracelets and necklaces at markets. At high school I studied sewing and was always really interested in it and making my own things. From jewellery I moved into making hand sewn felt toys (and was not very good at it). Over the years i’ve perfected my craft and since 2021 i’ve expanded into machine sewn toys and now I am working on my first baby/childrens clothing and accessories line under the Mini & Me brand.

I love all animals, cute things, pastel and autumnal colours - this is all reflected in my work. I ethically source my fabric the felt used in my Mini’s is organic merino wool felt from South America. I also use cotton, linens and organic knit fabric in my other products - some is even thrifted!

I live in Auckland with my partner Nick who has been there since the start of Mini & Me. We have two crazy burmese cats called Frankie and Marcel. During the week I work in an advertising agency as a Senior Account Director. I am surrounded by talented creative people daily and Mini & Me is a creative outlet for me.
