HI, I’M NONA

Little Nona never stopped playing. Grown-up Nona forgot.

For seven years I worked in marketing, always chasing the next deadline, until I burned out. I left for Indonesia on a one-month visa and stayed four years. One day I picked up a pen and started doodling, and for the first time in years I lost track of time.

Those doodles became The Noniz. Today I use them to give others that same feeling:

  • Teams that laugh, let go of pressure and see each other in a new way
  • Kids who learn that being different is their superpower
  • Walls that make people smile, every single day

Murals & canvas

Colourful walls and canvas that make people smile. For cafés, hotels, schools, childcare and homes.

→ Book a mural or canvas

Workshops

Come out of your head and play again. For teams, schools, kids’ parties and 1:1.

→ See workshops

Shop

Prints and Noniz to bring home, or to give to someone who needs a little more play.

→ Shop the Noniz

The Noniz in the wild

The Noniz doesn’t stay on paper. From Sydney’s Bondi Sea Wall to a summer campaign in Bali, Portugal and the Netherlands, these characters have a habit of showing up on walls too big to ignore. Got a wall that needs some personality?

Why play matters

We were all born curious. Able to see magic in the ordinary and explore the world through play. But as we grow up, layers of expectations tell us who we should be. Still, the child within us is there. And play is its language. Follow the road to the playcenter here: @thenoniz.playclub
