Making it through the first year with a baby calls for a proper celebration.

Raising kids in hard. So to celebrate, I’ve started a tradition of creating a 1st birthday present for children of my friends and family.

Addie’s Animals

Even at a young age, my niece Addie loved animals. So for her 1st birthday I wanted to focus on all the different climates where they live, centered by an empowering image of her as an adult.

A forest for Bos

My nephew’s name is Bos, which is the Dutch word for forest, so for his first birthday I made a cut paper forest, with his name subtly in the clouds.

George’s Giants

Little George, big giants!

Calvin’s Creatures

Monsters, goblins and everything weird in between for Calvin.
