Toys by Veta / developmental toys for babies
Toys by Veta is my own line of toys that was manufactured based on patterns and prototypes that I had created. It's a collection of nine soft, whimsical creatures that help develop babies' emerging senses. Darling faces and high contrasting colors appeal to babies' eyes; fun noisemakers delight their ears; while soft materials and small, lightweight proportions stimulates their sense of touch.

Groovy Zebras
I designed these cotton-knit, soft, and vibrant Zebra friends for Groovy Mummy London, a UK-based online retailer carrying chic accessories for mums and babies. They were hand-knit in Peru.

Baby Conan O'Brien :)
The idea of Baby Conan came to me many years ago, while watching his show one night. He is handsewn from felt and jersey and has rotating arms.
