Meet the Creator of Chumbuddy
Chumbuddy began as a school art project by Kendra Phillips, who imagined a life-sized shark plush that could turn the fear of a shark attack into something funny, soft, and surprisingly cuddly.
What started as a hand-sewn prototype soon became the original Chumbuddy — and eventually went viral.
