Who is Theo?

I was born and raised in Athens, Greece.

When I was 16 years old, my grandma passed away and I decided to move in with my very old grandfather, to look after him. We spent almost 20 beautiful years together until 2018 when he passed away at the age of 106. During those years, I attended university, graduating as a Marine Electronic Engineer and spending 14 years working in ships, a very dangerous, difficult and unhealthy job.

In 2016 I met for the first time a Blythe doll. I remember, she was sat on a high shelve in a frend’s office, wearing a beautifully red wig, staring at me with huge green eyes. It was love at first sight. “Who IS she?!” I asked, astounded. “She’s Blythe!”
I asked and found out about her old and new story. “I have to have a Blythe doll!” thinking happily.


A few months later, I got my own Blythe doll, which I named Cara Collins. A new friend! It was as I had imagined. That was the beginning. I started taking her with me every time I went, I photographed her constantly.

Soon, ideas started forming, of things I wanted to create for her, for dolls. I had been working with wood and metal since I was a child, so I started working on things in my free time. I became totally immersed in it, wanting to spend all of my time, creating things for my new friends, the dolls. I decided to quit my job, which had been making me unhappy and now, here I am, designing and building things for your dolls, feeling more at peace and at home, than ever before.

love,
Theo
