Every character starts with imagination.
Explore the mini design studio, then watch paper-doll characters take shape through color, clothing, and creative choices.
The mini design studio shown is an example of what participants can expect. The types of tools and materials provided may vary.
A space for your own ideas.
Participants choose a paper-doll character, an everyday outfit, and a profession outfit from the provided templates. They color and cut out their selections, then imagine a story for their character. Diverse character templates include Black, White, Latina, and Asian dolls, with adaptive living options. Color, clothing, personality, and storytelling come together as each participant develops a character of their own.
Each pair of participants shares a fully equipped mini design studio. I provide tools, materials, creative resources, and my professional guidance.
No design or sewing experience is needed—just curiosity and imagination.

What to expect
Choose a paper doll, an everyday outfit, and a profession outfit, then bring the character to life through color and storytelling. Participants receive supportive guidance as they create a doll and story of their own. Sharing is optional.
Creative choices. New confidence.
Participants practice making visual choices, developing a character, and connecting clothing to personality or a story. They discover different ways to represent themselves and others in creative work.
Participants stay engaged through hands-on exploration and personal choices. Sharing is optional, and individual guidance helps them work through challenges.
