Zuri & Dre

In 2018, Danielle, founder & designer, wanted to create faces that would showcase people who looked like herself, and her community, in a way that would reflect her trademark minimal style. Once the faces (or avatars) finalized, and posted on social media, she received so much great feedback from family, friends and colleagues. Based on all of the encourage from her community, she created colouring books; Black Queens (2017) & Black Kings (2018), also known as Black Colouring Books. The books were well received online and in-person, not only for their representation, but for the included positive affirmations that aimed to help uplift people, young & old. The Zuri & Dre brand was born from the love of art and diversity found in the colouring books coupled with the help & feedback of the community.
