When Your Client is 12 (And Is Also Your Daughter)
Sometimes the most rewarding projects aren’t the high-stakes corporate builds with endless review cycles, but the quick, fun ones you whip up at home over a cup of coffee.
That’s exactly how Emmigurumi.eu came to be. This wasn’t a complex agency showcase or a multi-month branding campaign—it was simply bringing my daughter Emma’s creative hobby into the digital world.
One long rainy weekend and the result was inspiring!
Quick, Cheerful, and Built on One Knee
The goal was simple: take the casual photos taken on a smartphone by a kid, tidy them up, and build a cute, bright home for her crocheted amigurumi characters and digital drawings.
- Bright & Cheerful Palette: We went with a soft, high-contrast, cheerful color scheme (suitable for a teen) that feels youthful and playful without overcomplicating things.
- Real Photos: No studio lighting or fancy photography sessions here—just taking casual photos from around the room, lightly touching them up, and dropping them into digital mockups to give them a polished frame.
- Built in a Single Day: Using WordPress and Divi, the whole site was assembled in roughly 24 hours, finished off with her own European domain (
emmigurumi.eu).
Why We Love It
At Art Spot, this project holds a special place because my role was mentor and mom first, developer second. Emmigurumi shows that you don’t need a huge budget or months of work to give a young artist a confidence boost and a neat place to showcase their work.
