Making small waves

It's encouraging to see someone trying to get away from the usual route of selling other peoples products.

ZooZoo2.com is the brainchild of Molly Luke who's just 12 years old and with a passion for surfing, surfing clothes and water. ZooZoo2 sells limited edition T-shirts for surfers.

The idea for the site came out of Molly’s Dad's desperation to get her away from the kitchen table. Molly is constantly sketching endless new clothing designs, whether it is for imaginary girl bands or just friends at school.

According to her Dad, Molly has the kitchen table in a state of absolute chaos. "Every time we want a meal (and I mean every time and it drives us crazy) we have to clear away boxes of colored pencils, felt tip pens, drawing pads, scissors, piles of cut up paper and magazines along with the usual last minute school homework."

"I decided that if I could gently channel this interest into something for the future, she might find the whole process of designing clothes for real people a useful challenge."

The plan is to design T-shirts around Molly’s interest in surfing, surfing clothes, snowboarding and scuba diving to start with then progress onto other related items.

"We are looking forward to getting our table back!"
