Dolls are one of the most recognizable objects from our childhoods. But the thing is, the ones that we see on toy store shelves are perfect. There are no differences, whatsoever. This issue has been raised by many concerned parents and groups for years which has led many brands to release more inclusive toys. And while this is all well and good, the mass-produced inclusive dolls from Mattel and other brands can’t hold a candle to Amy Jandrisevits’ personalized dolls!

Jandrisevits’ ‘A Doll Like Me’ project began when she recognized the limited representation offered by toys sold in stores. She felt that despite the brands’ efforts, something was still lacking. Representation is important, but commercial doll brands still have a lot of work to do in this department. Well, Amy wasn’t about to just wait and see what the big names would do about it! Instead, she began creating personalized dolls that look like real children.
