About us

We're Irina and Ivan, a husband-and-wife team in London, and the couple behind CheekyToons, founded in 2025.

Right now we're waiting for our first baby to arrive, so family is very much at the centre of our lives. That’s why we started creating personalised cartoons: little stories where children get to see themselves as the main character.

Irina is a professional editor who loves shaping simple, meaningful stories for kids. Ivan is the tech geek who makes those stories come alive on screen. Together, we turn your child's photo into a short, made-for-them cartoon.

We treat every photo and every order with care. Your images are only used to create your video, never sold or shared, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time. If something doesn't feel quite right in the final result, just reply to our email and we’ll do our best to fix it.

From our family in London to yours – thanks for trusting us with your child's story 💛
