"I originally never made plans to start my own business, at least not as my full time career. I actually wanted to go into the animation industry, write stories and someday see my characters and world come to life, but sometimes life has other plans. I grew burnt out and discouraged and stepped away from drawing for the longest time, but I knew I wanted to fall in love with art again. I began drawing simple and cute doodles to rekindle that spark. Now I've found myself turning these doodles into original characters and showcasing their world through a different way: DoddleVee. Though this was not my original dream, it is a new one that I have grown to love and plan to grow even more long term. (We are shooting for the stars!)

However, I still have not given up my dream in someday telling a story through original characters and their worlds. This will start with the world of DoddleVille

I thank everyone who has become a resident of DoddleVille through their continued support. The residents and I appreciate you all!"
