Meet the Maker Behind Little Dude Central
From cookie-cutter to custom
I’ve been crocheting since 2003 (yep, back when I was still in tech school in the Air Force!) and designing in other creative spaces long before launching Little Dude Central. While I may be newer to the amigurumi design scene, I bring decades of crochet know-how, a love for experimentation, and a big dream: to give makers like you the freedom to create characters that are truly one of a kind.
Think of this like building your own MMO or TTRPG character — but in yarn! You’ll be able to mix and match bodies, armor, outfits, and more to bring your vision to life. Right now, we’re starting small with a few core patterns, but the goal is to grow into a whole universe of possibilities. And someday? I hope other makers will join in with their own add-ons and expansions too.
At the heart of it all: creativity, freedom, and community. I can’t wait to see what bold, magical Little Dudes you dream up!
We envision a bold, dynamic brand that transforms the doll-making world from cookie-cutter patterns into limitless, customizable designs. By championing creativity, uniqueness, freedom, and integrity, we empower makers to feel proud and joyful as they bring their visions to life. Our long-term goal is to redefine what’s possible in pattern creation, inspiring a future where self-expression is celebrated and originality takes center stage.
