Hello, I'm Jodie, Founder of Happy Doodles.
A children’s illustrator, author, mum, and proud lifelong colour-outside-the-lines enthusiast 💛 I founded Happy Doodles from a deep belief in the power of creativity to support children’s emotional wellbeing.It is all about making joyful messes, expressing big feelings, and building confidence through art. As a mum with lived experience of mental health challenges, I know firsthand how healing creative play can be, especially when shared. Art is a vital tool for healing, expression, and confidence, especially for children navigating big feelings. That’s why I’m so passionate about Happy Doodles: low-pressure, process-led art workshops for kids across the East Riding of Yorkshire, rooted in emotional wellbeing and inclusive creativity. Because all children deserve a safe space to explore who they are, feel seen, and create joyfully 🌈🖍️

Our first time at a happy doodles session and my daughter absolutely loved it — so many creative activities to do! She already can't wait to go to another one! Thank you again!

My 6 and 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed the crafting morning, both got plenty out of it in different ways, lots of variation and great ideas from Jodie, my 6 year old said she “loved it”, will definitely return. Thanks for a lovely morning Jodie.
