Hi there, and welcome to the Little Star Design Studio Blog.

My name is Sam and I write and illustrate picture books that support social and emotional learning.

My background is in graphic and editorial design, then several years ago I focused on illustration and writing children’s stories.

I started Little Star Design studio after working with a company that was trying to promote parent/child interaction and education through STEM learning. I felt very disconnected from the content it felt like there were so many aspects of education that were simply not being addressed and the basic values and social and emotional skills were being missed out along the way.  I feel that it is time to update the stories that helped me learn these values as a child.

My intention is very simple.

This website aims to share content in the form of stories, activities, and hopefully one-day toys, to help young children learn important lessons in life. Helping them navigate an ever more complicated world that we live in.

I would love to start a community right here to encourage anyone who feels the same to get in touch and be part of the Little Star Design Studio. I am open to ideas of how this should grow and welcome your thoughts and comments. 

I will be posting as regularly as possible on all types of topics related to this project. If you have any comments, or if you would like to contribute please feel welcome to contact me or leave a comment below.

If you would like to contact me privately you can do so via my email;

Thank you for reading and my kindest regards to you all.
Sam
