I like making characters that express as much emotion as physically possible.

My Ingingerness animals express feelings of confidence and inner resilience, which runs through the growing ginger pride movement. I believe that confidence is sometimes the best defense against adversities in life.

Many a child has experienced bullying in the play ground, but what is it that enables them to turn those negative feelings around and start liking the things that make them different? I believe it is a quality, that however small, is untouchable and unbreakable. An inner strength that eventually makes it's way to the surface.

I hope that when people play with, use or wear my products that it brings those feelings to the surface. For children I hope that the characters help to grow that inner strength and enable it to surface.

I run workshops for kids, hold events, partake in exhibitions and run competitions. You can keep informed of all of this by visiting and liking my Facebook page www.facebook.com/ingingerness or visit my website at www.ingingerness.com.
