About Mon, founder of Flock & Doodle

About Mon, founder of Flock & Doodle

Hi, I’m Mon, and I started Flock & Doodle: a space where adults can pause, recharge, and rediscover the joy of making things with their hands. I found my way back to art after struggling with burnout, depression, and a late ADHD diagnosis. I used to draw and paint every single day, then for a while it all stopped, because things weren’t right. Slowly, through doodling and scribbling, the creativity that I never truly lost came back to me.

My flock (including my literal pet bird) contains my loved ones, many friend circles, fellow creatives; but also people who have been, or are still going, through all these mental health ups and downs.

Flock & Doodle is my answer to doomscrolling, my way to re-energise, and an invitation to play.

participants said:

It was such a relaxing experience, and I wondered why we people don't make more space for creative moments like this. Just trying out different styles of drawing and techniques, not judging it, letting the creativity and your mind flow. (M, project manager)

Mon was sweet and offered a safe space 😊 (P, illustrator)

I've never had anything like this laid out in front of me, with so many materials, and guiding prompts, so now it feels really good. I'm glad I had this opportunity. (T, front-end developer)

I took a lot of energy from it. It was a good chance to sit and draw. (J, designer)
