About the Designer - Shalini Ayre
I’m a full-time designer and illustrator with a lifelong love of making things—whether
it was card‑making, crochet, or writing (I’m also a published author). After time in the
corporate world, I stepped away to write and eventually found my way into surface
pattern design, where I discovered the perfect blend of creativity and craft.

About the Designer - Carrie Cantwell
I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Remembering Sienna Farr
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
