Collaboration

Happy Corey was born in 2022 when I collaborated with Kirsty of The Happy Core Company to design the visuals for a set of their children's affirmation cards.

This little blue guy has been the source of much inspiration for Kirsty and I, and we are continuing our collaboration to create a children's book series that aims to develop children's emotional intelligence by engaging them in the topic of emotions in a fun and playful way; supporting them in expressing and communicating their emotions.

You can keep up to date with the book series development and all things Happy Corey on this page and through our Instagram pages.

“… one of the needs of children for healthy brain development is the freedom to experience and express all the emotions that come up for them” (Maté 2024).
