About us
Welcome to Designs by Cricket, where creativity and nostalgia intertwine to bring you unique, handcrafted treasures. I'm Cricket, also known as Emma Sufariu, and I invite you to join me on a journey inspired by cherished childhood memories and the love of creating beautiful things.
As a child, I discovered the magic of imagination, finding solace in the company of my imaginary friends, Lychees and Pearl, who happened to be crickets like me. Those captivating adventures remain etched in my heart, and it's from that enchanting world that the name "Cricket" became my nickname.
During the challenging times of the Covid pandemic, when the world stood still, I found myself blessed with abundant time. With unwavering support from my parents, I embarked on a remarkable endeavor—to establish a small business. This extraordinary opportunity not only brought us closer as a family but also allowed us to pour our hearts and souls into crafting meaningful creations that would touch the lives of others.
At Designs by Cricket, our mission is to infuse joy into every item we make. We believe in evoking emotions, resurrecting cherished memories, and spreading happiness to all who encounter our creations. Each piece we offer carries a profound significance, designed to ignite a sense of connection and nostalgia whenever it catches your eye.
Our website serves as a gateway to a world of exquisite wooden wonders, ranging from beautifully handcrafted cribbage boards to intricately engraved photos and everything in between. Working side by side in our cozy home workshop, my parents and I pour our love and craftsmanship into every creation, ensuring the utmost attention to detail and quality.
We understand that personal preferences and unique needs vary, and we embrace the opportunity to create custom pieces. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for, or if you have a specific vision in mind, simply drop us a line. While school remains our priority for now, we're committed to promptly connecting with you and bringing your vision to life.
Thank you for joining us on this remarkable journey of creativity, passion, and lifelong memories. Designs by Cricket is more than just a business—it's a heartfelt endeavor dedicated to making your world a little more enchanting, one cherished memory at a time.
