Hello everyone!

It's been a while now. I've been quite busy setting up my very own retail store!

It had always been a dream to have my own storefront, but something that I thought would come much later in life.

But some opportunities come around only once.
So when was looking for shops to set up, I applied without expectations. When they reached out to me about moving forward, I initially hesitated because I didn't know if I was ready. But when I saw the vibrant vision of what The Hive was creating, I knew I had to jump in. I’m so grateful that I did, and with the unwavering support of my friends, family, and the wonderful community gathering at The Hive, we made it a reality!

It’s been a challenging few months filled with challenges, hard work, and uncertainty, but we opened our doors on November 1!

Although it's only been three weeks since our grand opening, the support from the local community has been overwhelmingly uplifting. This truly feels like a full-circle moment for me. I began my journey at Mill 5 with just a 6-foot table in those little bazaar markets, and fast forward two and a half years, and here I am with Teeny Wonders as a retail store!

What started as a year filled with uncertainty has blossomed into a season of hope and excitement. For the first time, I feel optimistic about the future! With all the incredible support surrounding me, I’m convinced that we can achieve anything—especially if we come together as a community!

Thank you all for being part of this journey.

Here’s to brighter days ahead!

A more detailed look at how I create my illustrations!

I like to start with quick thumbnails that just focus on composition and creating depth before I do a cleaner sketch.

My favorite part is creating color studies! I like to play around with different colors combinations and how that affects the mood I'm going for.

Then, I finally start on the final art 🥰

What's your favorite part?
