We all know children love to draw from their imagination and parents love to hand their little colorful masterpieces on the walls and fridges. Budsies, a company founded in 2013 by Alex Furmansky started from inspiration of his sister’s drawings. After seeing his little sister Michelle tucking her stuffed animals in bed, he thought to himself “What if I could turn a drawing into a stuffed animal friend that would last forever?”
His thought of borrowing one of Michelle’s drawings and a dog like creature named Dongler and have it turned into a stuffed plush in South Florida. From this act, the first Budsie was born and others followed.
When the company started, most of the orders were of kids’ drawings, doodles and other artwork. Nowadays, the company uses everything from a child’s first drawing, to detailed original characters, author’s book characters, sports team mascots and more.
