THE CAMPAIGN IS LIVE!!! Thank you so much to everyone who has already pledged, shared, or engaged with our socials! Over the next 5 weeks I will be posting and sharing more of my story and you'll get to know more about these amazing characters, and my journey in bringing them back to life! I can't even begin to tell you how much your support means to me- thank you!!
Upon the suggestion of some important people, I have added some crazy tiers that allow anyone to fund the project entirely.

It all began in 1976 when my Mom & Dad had the idea to create what would become "Baby Zodiac". My Mom sketched out and illustrated these amazing characters who would become my dearest childhood friends. I would look forward to bedtime when my Mom would bring out her beautiful illustrations and improvise bedtime stories for me, sometimes putting on voices for them. They remain a huge part of who I am and when I discovered her original sketches, I knew what I had to do to honor her memory. Let BZ Begin!

In April I met with Zeresh Aria in person after knowing each other for many years online. It was as if the stars had aligned because I had been searching for a skilled Graphic Designer to help me bring the finer details of BZ to life like the new logo and character frames. When I asked Zeresh to join the team, she knew how passionate I was about this project and wanted to help me see it through. As Zeresh has a beautiful daughter, it occurred to me that this project would be made by Mom's and that gave me the biggest smile.
Please give Zeresh a follow:

For over TWO YEARS I searched for the right artist capable of bringing my vision to life. I had the most stringent of criteria- the art had to be bold and memorable like the books I used to love as a child, but also the artist had the monumental task of capturing a sparkle of my Mom's essence while redesigning the characters for a modern era. I found Ashley Campo in February 2026 on Tiktok of all places, and I immediately fell in love with her work. After several paid art tests, she won me over and this was the moment I asked her to be a part of this journey. Ashley is a new Mom herself and so having a Mom to help me honor mine felt like pure luck!
