We harness design to improve emotional wellbeing through what we call the ‘Circle of love’.  We design symbolic tools that help you and mother earth to believe and to trust that everything is possible if it comes from within. Our first symbol is the hugger, a doll with long arms and weights that simulates the sensation of a hug. With every hugger comes a little book, which tells his magical story.  The huggers arms are filled with seeds and when the owner feeds him with soil, sun and water the hugger returns to earth as a plant! That’s our circle of love. A heartening story about taking care of yourself and the world.

I wish for every family to have a hugger in their home, that every foundation for the homeless, foster home and hospital to have at least one hugger as a heard warming tool, to work with children and adults. I want to distribute huggers across the world and subsequently to create empowering workshops for women. I plan to use donations to connect more strangers through a hug as well as building an active distribution network for our huggers and to generate 2 workshops for women in Colombia.
