From mums with love: Buddy + Bear
The creative venture of graphic designers Sarah and Jon Weston began towards the end of 2014, shortly after they became parents to Sammy. Faster than their little bundle grew, their once minimal home filled with garish hues and noisy buttons. They instantly recognized a need for products that would blur the boundaries of taste between grown ups and their little ones and wanted to offer a gentler approach to kid’s design. Using themes such as time-telling, fruit, shapes and letters, Sarah and Jon strongly believe in the power of learning through play. Their sweetly humorous collection is carefully considered to engage young minds and spark hungry imaginations. With bold yet subtle illustrations and colour-ways, their timeless style reflects the mix of sensitivity and playful charm that childhood is all about.
Who are you?
Sarah Weston owner of Buddy + Bear.
How does motherhood inspire your work?
Seeing what makes Sammy's face light up and my life more enjoyable as a parent. Wanting to make things happen for our family's future.
How do you achieve your work life balance?
I don't always! I try to separate family time from work time - tell myself emails can wait!! I try to give Sammy my full attention. This is an art in itself!
Where does your support come from?
My husband - co-founder and wonderful designer! He keeps me sane; as does my mum (and dad) They help so much :)
What is the best business advice that you've been given?
Have systems in place that you can rely on! I'm still working on this but anything that can be done without you in order to free up time for important stuff is such a good thing.
If your child were a fruit, what would they be?
A sweet little peach :) Failing that, a watermelon as he's eaten three times his own body weight of it lately!
If you could create a hashtag that summed up your life, what would it be?
