all about Small for Big

This is a Design Blog without a snooty attitude.

We like to think of Small for Big as our place to bond over our love for all that is playful, modern, inspirational, and mostly affordable.

Like lots of parents, I want the best for my daughter, Birdie, and at the best price. But I also have over fourteen years industry experience as a toy designer, which adds a little twist to it all.

Birdie has no idea what it means to be a toy designer (though she does want all of my concept sketches for her own), but she certainly enjoys the ride along with me – and she gives her 2 cents as often as she can.

So stop by daily for the best in playful design, inspiration, kids toys, DIY, decor, clothing, books and more. Plus, a little bit of Birdie, here and there.

Oh, and you just have to visit me over here for more inspiration, links, and conversations:
Small for Big on Pinterest (I am soooo addicted)
Small for Big on Facebook (lots of links and conversations!)
Small for Big on Twitter (let’s chat, please?)

You can also find my writing and style finds at Apartment Therapy, Houzz, and Vivint’s The Neighborhood.

Read more about me in these interviews with Pinterest and Classic Play.

And say, by the way, it’s nice to meet you!
