heart1We asked Louise what inspires her, and love her answer: “I am always observing life to see where there is a need and how I can come up with a solution. I am fascinated and inspired by antique toys and gadgets. I try to ‘think outside the box’ and find a unique solution with sweet designs that are perfect for little hands. I am inspired by my three children, especially my 15 month old baby. Walking by the beach almost every day clears my head and sparks many ideas.”

heart1We at Dibzy are happy to have Louise as a part of our team. We have a long history of working with Me First! Louise is a great resource for all aspects of product development. She is a skilled at creating branded product collections and a master of all the technical and graphic design details involved in rendering the concept through the manufacturing process. Louise is truly a mom and designer we admire!
