Hi, we're Noferin and we'd love to share a story about two designers trying to live by the lessons they instill in their daughter: namely, never give up.

OUR STORY SO FAR

IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY

Noferin is a husband-and-wife collaboration so named because it's no fair saying who does what. Since falling in love with each other in high school art class, we've been making things together for over 19 years. For the longest time we tried selling our stories to major publishers and media companies around the world, but we always got the same answer ....

THEY ALL SAID NO

A lot of really lovely things have been said to us by a lot of really lovely people. Except the words we'll help you. It's enough to get you down. But you know what they say ...

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED …

Try, try again. Learn from your mistakes. Don't take no for an answer. As parents, we know all the cliches. So we put these (and more) into practice and tried again. And again. And ...

something obviously needed to change

LET'S TRY SOMETHING NEW

You know those 'started in the garage' stories you read about? This is one of them. Except this is one in the making. And we want to try something different.

A SIMPLE IDEA CAN MEAN A LOT

Having both grown up on the wrong side of poverty, where we didn't know where our next meals were coming from, we know the harsh reality of food insecurity. Sadly 1 in 5 Australian children still go to bed with an empty tummy. And that's not fair. It might seem crazy, but we want to create an Australian-born global children's character property that exists to help feed children.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

For every Roobee Roo book sold, we give a meal. That's a great start, but we want to give more. We've got a lot planned for our little roo with the very special pouch, but we could really use your help. Being independent allows us to give a lot more, but there is only so much a husband and wife can do. We need your support. We need your interest. And most of all, we need your voice @OfficialRoobeeRoo to share your love of #roobeeroo.
