After spending 15 years pursuing a career in music and feeling like I hadn’t quite found my way, I reached a point of uncertainty and self-reflection. One day, during a particularly low moment, I saw a dump truck lifting a dumpster. In that instant, I imagined the dumpster enjoying the ride, pretending to fly like a child playing airplane. This simple, whimsical thought made me smile—and I started sharing the story with others. Every time I did, it brought joy to people's faces.

Inspired by this playful idea, I created "Binjamin the Dumpster," a character that sparked the beginning of a new journey for me. From that moment, I knew I had something special to share. That’s how Open Lid Media was born. I wanted to continue telling stories that bring light and smiles to the world, offering unique perspectives through the eyes of unexpected characters.

I never planned on becoming a writer, but sometimes the universe leads you down an unexpected path. Now, through Open Lid Media, I create books and toys that inspire imagination, laughter, and a sense of wonder in children and adults alike.
