A Message from Our Founder

A Message from Our Founder


“Smile Now Smile Forever was born from a simple truth I’ve learned in life—sometimes, the smallest smile can spark the biggest change in another person’s day and life. This brand and its cast of empowering characters were created to bring hope, spread love, and inspire confidence in children and adults of special needs backgrounds who feel different, overlooked, or unsure of their place in this world.


Characters TuBz, Tiny, Piklez, Blinky, Frankie, Potz, Panz, and Lani are more than just cartoon characters—they’re reflections of real-life struggles turned into triumphs, teaching us all that uniqueness is a superpower.”
