Bambi turns 4
On average, a yorkie chiweenie can live anywhere from 12-16 years. This means you have to make every moment count, especially birthdays. When my four-legged companion Bambi turned 4 years old, I saw this as an opportunity to build and get crafty to celebrate her exisitence.
The creative process
For my dog's fourth birthday, I took on a full-scale experience design challenge. My first step involved physical prototyping: I learned how to construct a custom table from raw materials (a wood slab and metal legs), creating the foundational structural element for the event. I then curated the full visual identity, using six colors of construction paper for nostalgic paper chains, inspired by Victorian and early 2000s aesthetics. Through visual branding and color, I designed the entire space to evoke a cohesive sense of whimsical, child-like wonder.
