TEAM
Vicki and Chris met in 2010 and instantly became friends. Vicki was a writer with dreams of publishing a children’s book, Chris was an artist with dreams of illustrating for a living. The perfect match! She shared Sasha’s story with him, he enrolled in art school, and they began creating The Furry Princess, meeting in person weekly which became known as #TigerTuesday. After years of collaboration, determination, and hard work, The Furry Princess was published in 2018.
