About Snikkidoodle
The Snikkidoodle mission is to spread joy, and encourage mental health wellness through my designs. Let’s think about positive affirmations as part of our self-care routines, and show ourselves a little more love whenever we can. I find them very helpful to keep me on track in my recovery journey, and I hope you will appreciate these friendly reminders too!
Another Snikkidoodle goal is connect with likeminded people, whether it is through an appreciation of art, or a love of animals, or a passion for mental health wellness (or even better, all three!). I’m giving a portion of each sale to two communities that inspire my positive messages–animal rescue, fostering and adoption (Redemption Paws), and mental health services (CAMH, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health). You can be proud (I know I am!) that your purchase gives back where help is needed.
When you purchase something from Snikkidoodle, you get original artwork from a creative person with a very special point of view. I know how important it is to regularly remind yourself that you can do this! My designs are not only cute, they’re about thinking positive motivating thoughts and looking for joy in the moment.
I’m on a mission to spread more sunshine, one positive penguin at a time!
The team behind the brand
Nikki – Artist and founder
I am a self-taught digital artist. Founded in 2021, Snikkidoodle was born out of my passion for creative expression (I love to draw and create on paper and on screen), my lifelong love of animals (especially penguins), and my desire to promote mental health wellness (find the joy!).
Inspired by my own mental health recovery journey, I have discovered that bringing together artwork and positive affirmations is the perfect way to give myself a pep talk delivered in a very effective (and cute) way. My artwork is a friendly reminder to find the joy around me, and now I want to share that message with you!
If there’s one thing I hope you take away from my designs, it’s that cute should never be underestimated. My cute characters are here to remind you how strong you are. So show yourself some unconditional love, especially on days that are tough, and let’s spread that sunshine!
My love for food and travel is what initially brought me to social media. I invite you to follow along on my journey!
SNOWBALL – SUPERVISOR AND PROFESSIONAL NAPPER
I am a fluffy Himalayan cat and I met my human almost 17 years ago. She always calls me her baby but I’m the one that makes sure dinner is on time, and patrol our home for safety.
I like to watch my human doodle on the iPad. Sometimes I even sneak the Apple Pencil away for a quick check-up (it still works!). I also try to sniff everything for quality control.
When I’m not busy supervising my human, you can usually find me napping on her.
