ByeByePet is the creation of Dutch product designer Toon Welling. Toon has a background in psychology and is a graduate student in product design at Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). In 2010, he won Second Prize in the prestigious Hema-ontwerpwedstrijd (Hema Design Contest), a national design competition for Dutch students sponsored by one of the Netherlands’ leading department stores. The theme of that year’s contest—“Journeys”—inspired Toon to create ByeByePet: While contemplating the many journeys that punctuate our lives, Toon found himself pondering the final journey we all must take, and ByeByePet soon developed into a loving, interactive way to teach children to appreciate the natural cycle of life and death.

If psychology helps individuals see the power of collaboration, designers, by their nature and training, are blessed with a wide range of skills that help them look at old problems in new ways. Toon’s background, rooted in the arts and science, has taught him to appreciate the fruits of 'outside-the-box' thinking. This is why he regularly brings together like-minded professionals from a variety of disciplines to work on projects. Together, members of Toon’s 'perfect teams' use their toolsets to address issues that confront our families and communities. Aiming to find unique solutions to today’s challenges before they become tomorrow’s problems.


From the Jury Report of the HEMA contest:

‘This design is highly original and really innovative. It is impressive to see how the designer came up with a novel and personal way of looking at the design brief. Go figure!'
