About

Hey! I'm Danielle, if you didn't already know. Nice to meet you!

Things that bring me joy:
My family (and my cats!)
The sound of rain on the roof.
Drawing. Letters, numbers, doodling. I'm there!
Exclamation marks (can you tell?!)
    Things I'm not a fan of:
    Coffee.
    Deep water where you can't see the bottom.
    Spiders, snakes and other creepy crawlies, like bugs.
    Favourite food:
    Chicken, hands down. Followed ridiculously close by eggs benedict.
    Least favourite food:
    Seafood. But I do like fish.


    Sweet Petite is the result of many failed businesses (learning opportunities,) and many, many late nights. I trained in 2009 and have been freelancing ever since. Less than one month after launching Sweet Petite in May of 2017, The Original Peg Prints took the internet by storm—well, in New Zealand anyway! 4 years later and I'm still loving every minute of it. 

    My family consists of my husband and I, our two children and our two Tonkinese cats. We're based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Mike drives trucks for a living. Leo and Mia are heavy vehicle and plane mad just like their father. When we're not at work, school or preschool, you can find us exploring Christchurch—gondolas, trams, places like Willowbank... and shopping of course! We're fans of good food too—frequenting low & slow bbq restaurants, Lone Star, American diners and the kids love the Mongolian buffet! Kava and Hugo are brother and sister who were my 21st birthday present from Mike. He does pretty well on significant gifts, we bought a house for my 30th!
