Mark Ruffin

Welcome. I’m Mark Ruffin.

I am a dollmaker, artist, and storyteller.

I created Black Dolls Matter® from a simple truth:
when children see themselves, they understand they belong.

My work lives at the intersection of craft, culture, and care —
from film and television to handmade heirloom dolls.

This space is where I share the journey.
