​Characters for museums, heritage sites & visitor attractions

A unique family-friendly character is the ideal way to demonstrate that your attraction welcomes family visitors and can be used on displays, educational resources, activities and even on souvenir products for your gift shop! Do you have an interesting character from your site's history who could be brought to life? If not, what about an animal?

​Characters for retail product development

Emma can create character designs for use in the development of children's merchandise and product ranges. She is happy to mock up speculative product designs and can also provide coordinating motifs and patterns.

​Characters for publishing

Emma enjoys working with publishers large and small, both fiction and non-fiction.
