About Keiley: {pronounced: KEE-LEE}
Keiley is a small human
girl, sometimes referred to as an “artist”.
She studied some random
things before landing in Craft & Design at Sheridan College. Now graduated
with an honours diploma in Textile Design, she works in the industry
like a real grown-up, but still eats animal crackers and drinks from juice
boxes like before.
About Leikey Designs:
Leikey Designs is a small-production textiles company producing handmade toys, needle-felted sculptures and custom designs. Everything is designed & handmade by Keiley herself.
About the Logo, a fox:
Charged with the task of
developing a new product for The Workroom, a sewing studio in Toronto, I
designed a DIY Stuffie Kit for the beginner sewer. A childhood interest in
foxes, likely stemming from a Disney movie, the first stuffie design was a fox.
And so became my very first design ever sold.
About the Name, Leikey: {pronounced: LEE-KEE}
Growing up, like most, I received many-a-nickname. Leikey, is the one that stuck.

My two little cousins on
repeat singing “Keiley!” quickly turned into an anagram that became a fitting
identity. Many of the products in
the shop now are inspired and approved by them.
