We’re Christi & Lydia

Hi, I’m Christi, and Lydia is my daughter, my sidekick, and the “Lydi” behind Lydilu. She’s my youngest, my only girl, and she happens to have Williams syndrome.

Lydia has always had a gift for connecting with people. She loves making friends, rarely meets a stranger, and has a way of making life a little more joyful just by being herself. That spirit of friendship and connection became a big part of Lydilu.

We wanted to create little friends that can tag along for everyday moments and big adventures-and do something a little unexpected along the way. With hidden magnets in their paws and eyes, Lydilu Friends can hold hands, play peekaboo, cover their eyes when something feels a little scary.

They are a little bit playful, a little bit comforting, and very much us.

Lydia brings the laughter, the sparkle, the big personality, and a pretty strong opinion or two. I bring the ideas, the details, and usually the bag carrying.

Together, we’re building Lydilu around something pretty simple:

Life is better with a friend.

Thanks for being here.  We're really glad you found us.
