The Snikkidoodle mission is to spread joy, and encourage mental health wellness through my designs. Let’s think about positive affirmations as part of our self-care routines, and show ourselves a little more love whenever we can. I find them very helpful to keep me on track in my recovery journey, and I hope you will appreciate these friendly reminders too!

Another Snikkidoodle goal is connect with likeminded people, whether it is through an appreciation of art, or a love of animals, or a passion for mental health wellness (or even better, all three!). I’m giving a portion of each sale to two communities that inspire my positive messages–animal rescue, fostering and adoption (Redemption Paws), and mental health services (CAMH, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). You can be proud (I know I am!) that your purchase gives back where help is needed.

When you purchase something from Snikkidoodle, you get original artwork from a creative person with a very special point of view. I know how important it is to regularly remind yourself that you can do this! My designs are not only cute, they’re about thinking positive motivating thoughts and looking for joy in the moment.

I’m on a mission to spread more sunshine, one positive penguin at a time!
