the juxtaposition of creating cute festive stuff and everything that's happening right now

I have 3 days to get my stuff up for wholesale. small business life never ends but I'm thankful I can do this

it feels weird to continue advertising my small business and working on it when I just want to hibernate for a couple years or break things.

but your girl's gotta eat so here are some of my emotional support stickers that might help you when you're feeling down.

me today realizing little kids looked up at me for solutions and permission bc I'm the adult

one of the things I really wanted to make when I started my small stationery business was red envelopes bc lunar new year is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture.

these are thick paper and sturdy with gold foil and can comfortably fit a full dollar bill!

See you in 2026!

your fren ~🍊

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this year has been rough. So if you're stil here right now, give yourself a pat in the back. You did your best and that's more than anyone could ever ask for.

happy new year!

most years it just feels like any other day, but this year it feels different somehow? like maybe it is a fresh start or there will be a shift in the universe? maybe?

I giggle every time someone buys one of these binder clips and I always add this sticker as a freebie! 

this was one of the first things I created for my little stationery shop, like 2 YEARS before I opened my small business! the sticker has my old handle on it too 🥺

Scottish fold kitties 😻

do you like persimmons?

the art and the inspo 😆

she's going to be an acrylic painting

sticky note designs I've created recently 🥰

new stuff in my shop!

I've been wanting to create functional art so you can integrate the cute stuff into everyday life! I know a lot of people enjoy stickers, but they also feel like they have no use for them.

hope you find these items useful too!

something a little different! 🐻

I made 2 Paddington shirts for my almost 2 year old. he loves them but I think I can do better 😅

sorry I've been MIA. I had an accident but I'm on the mend and should hopefully be creating more art again soon.

one of my favorite parts of packing orders is doodling on the packaging 😅

zoomed into tiger balm packaging but instead of a tiger it’s a chonky orange cat

continuing my traditional asian medicine series with papaya balm! papaya is my orange cat 🥰

this is a classic that i’m pretty sure was in every asian household. we mainly used this for massages or gua sha.

did you use tiger balm?

more from my chinese medicine series - maow maow brand oil!

or better known as eagle oil or eagle brand oil. this was one of the cure-all asian oils that my mom used for everything from tummyaches to migraines.

4 washi tape designs in a white sheet of paper. designs are 1. cats shaped like loaves of bread, 2. black void cats, 3. cats standing on clouds and blowing bubbles, 4. cats in or around coffee cups

new washi tape! for anyone who loves cats, cute stuff, bread, coffee, and journaling!

I drew most of the art for these years ago - 2022? 2023? and I knew I wanted to turn them into washi tape one day. I updated the drawings recently and here they are.

I love these designs so much!
