My name is Anna-Liisa, I am a housewife, mother, midwife and artisan creator of the rocking toys.
After university graduation, I started working at a hospital as a midwife. I love my job a lot and have always looked for my “own thing”.
I got the idea of making wooden rocking toys when I saw a picture of a child’s swing on the internet, its potential sparked my creative attention as the implementation wasn’t as great as I would have liked.
The idea started nicely, I started imagining how I would like to see the rocking toy evolve, what styles of rocking toy would suit our home.
Before the Rocking Toy creation I had other activities and hobbies for example, I took a massage course, also tried sewing, but the creative feeling I now is completely different – I just knew in an instant that I have to start making the Rocking Toy.
At first, I had quite a few thoughts about the design and I created the first sketches on paper.
Over time, my designs have developed their own identity and today I have created my own brand thanks to the support of my husband, family and friends – Nobsi.
