A Clear Vision, Thoughtfully Brought to Life: Celebrating the Launch of Dandelion™ Doll by Kelly Drumgoole

Some inventions begin as loose ideas, waiting to be shaped. Others arrive with a sense of clarity that guides every decision from the start.

When Kelly Drumgoole came to Invention City in November 2023, she already possessed a strong, thoughtful vision for what would become Dandelion™ Doll. She wasn’t searching for direction—she was looking for the right support to bring her idea into the world with care.

As Kelly describes it:

“A tender & whimsical reimagining of the voodoo doll, created not for harm but for healing. Inspired by the childhood ritual of blowing on a dandelion.”

That core intention remained the compass throughout the entire journey.

A Founder Grounded in Her Vision

Kelly was clear about what mattered to her. She paid close attention to detail, asked insightful questions, and thoughtfully evaluated every choice along the way. Her approach was not rigid—it was intentional.

At Invention City, we deeply value inventors who are connected to their ideas. Kelly’s clarity made our collaboration productive and focused. She knew what to preserve and was open to guidance on the best way to do so.

Practical Protection for a Unique Product
Instead of pursuing a costly and hard to defend patent, we advised Kelly to secure trademark and copyright protection. This approach was more affordable, and appropriate, enabling her to protect the brand and the unique look of the doll and messages.

We also provided sourcing support, ensuring the finished product reflected her original intent and could be brought to market responsibly.

A Meaningful Milestone
In late October, Kelly received her first shipment of Dandelion™ Dolls, officially turning a long-held idea into a tangible product. Since then, she has already sold 80 dolls—an encouraging early response that proves her message is resonating.

Dandelion™ Doll invites reflection, release, and hope—echoing the simple, gentle ritual that inspired it. By reframing a familiar symbol in a compassionate and intentional way, Kelly has created a product that is personal, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful.

Looking Ahead
Kelly’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when a clear vision is paired with practical support. We’re proud to have worked alongside her and to have guided the process in a way that respected both her creativity and her business goals.

Congratulations to Kelly Drumgoole on the launch of Dandelion™ Doll. We are excited to watch this thoughtful creation flourish.
