The Story of téte
 
 
Tickle & Twinkle was where my story began :
Tickle held the closeness, laughter, and quiet connection shared only with the people you love most.
Twinkle carried my love for light in all its forms: my faith, the gentle morning sun, tree shadows dancing around our home, star-filled skies and moonlit nights, blazing sunlight simmering on the water, the warm glow of a fire pit with children toasting marshmallows, little hands waving sparklers, birthday candles flickering before a wish, the whimsical charm of festoon lights, and so much more.
They were all the tiny sparks that make family life feel beautifully magical~ the ordinary moments that quietly become the memories we treasure most.
As my work grew deeper, warmer, and more intentional,
I realised the name no longer reflected the art I was creating. It felt a little too cute for the emotion, honesty, and storytelling I pour into every session.
I didn’t want to abandon the meaning behind it, only to express it in a way that felt truer to who I am.
That’s how Téte was born.
A distilled, modern evolution of Tickle & Twinkle.
A name that still holds the intimacy, the light, and the faith that shaped my beginning, but expressed with softness, clarity, and intention.
Téte honours where I started, while giving me space to tell stories in a way that feels even more true to my heart.
much love,
Rain
