✨ Customer Love ✨
“I think your work is even cuter than Jellycat!” — a lovely customer today 🥹💖
Hearing this honestly made my day! I pour so much love into every design, so it means the world when someone connects with it like this. Thank you for all your support — it keeps our little studio going! 💕🐻🌈

✨Map No.53: TOKYO!✨
This lively, food-filled, landmark-packed map of Tokyo was lovingly illustrated for Hyper Japan 2025 — and it’s finally here! 🍣⛩️🗼
So many of you requested this one, and I had so much fun bringing this incredible city to life. 💖
All Tokyo map products are now available on my website — and yes, more Japan city maps (and other countries!) are coming soon. 🌍✏️
👇Let me know in the comments which city or country you’d love to see next!

✨ Still feeling so warm and fuzzy from yesterday! ✨
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my stall — especially those who lit up with a cheerful “So cute!” or “Awww stickers!” 🥹💖 Those little moments honestly make everything worth it!
A big thank you to my lovely social media friends who visited in person — I was genuinely so touched 🫶 And to my surprise, I even met one of the book designers I’m currently working with (what are the odds?! 😆 So glad I wasn’t doing something embarrassing at that exact moment).
Also, huge hugs to my sweet illustrator colleague Jennifer @abctypography for dropping by — it meant a lot 💕
The cherry on top? I had the chance to meet the art director from the famous book “Maps” — such a cool and unexpected moment! He even asked me where I received my art training… something no one has ever asked before! 😳🎨
It was such a joyful day filled with new faces, old friends, and lots of love. You guys are honestly the best. THANK YOU! 💛✨
And of course, a big thank you to Open Art Space @openartspaces for organizing such a wonderful event — it means the world to small artists like me! 🙏🌟
