I’ve always been an animal lover, but I never imagined that a dog—specifically, a Bichon Frise—would kickstart my creative journey. It all began with an unexpected moment that fundamentally changed my life and the way I see the world.

A few years ago, I was going through a tough time. I felt like something was missing from my life, but I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. During that time, I had been thinking about getting a dog, but I never had the courage to take the first step. Then one day, I met her: a tiny, snow-white Bichon Frise whose smiling face and cheerful nature immediately stole my heart. I knew right away that she was the one I had been waiting for. That day, I brought her home, and she was named Brigitt.

As time went by, Brigitt became not only my companion but also a source of inspiration. Every day, she surprised me with something new: funny faces, her adorably messy fur, and the incredible kindness she showed everyone she met. As I got to know her better, I started drawing pictures of her. At first, it was just for my own enjoyment, but soon I realized that these drawings not only brought me joy but could also bring joy to others.

One evening, after looking at my drawings for hours, an idea came to me: why not try sharing these designs with others? That’s when I discovered the world of Print on Demand. I started researching how it works, how to create and sell custom-designed products online. I still remember how excited I was during my first attempts. Slowly but surely, I began to build a small collection, mostly featuring designs inspired by Brigitt: bags, T-shirts, mugs—all adorned with her smiling face or funny Bichon Frise-related quotes.

One of the most memorable moments was when the first customer reached out to say how much they loved the product I had created because it reminded them of their own Bichon Frise. From that moment on, what had started as a hobby became a kind of mission for me. I knew that other dog lovers would understand—that they, too, would feel what I felt: the joy, loyalty, and charm of Bichon Frises are so special that everyone should see them.

Brigitt is still by my side every day, and she continues to inspire me again and again. Watching her play or nap on the couch always gives me new ideas. The Bichon Frise has not only become my companion but also the heart and soul of my creations.
