I’ve always loved making things with my hands.

Growing up, my hands were always busy, making dumplings with my grandma, helping my dad repair things around the house, and learning along the way that there’s something really special about making things yourself.

There’s a kind of joy that comes from taking something simple and turning it into something real.

A piece of clay becomes a cup.
A sheet of paper becomes a book.
A blank canvas becomes a painting.

And maybe the most magical part is that you can actually see a little bit of yourself in what you’ve made :)

In a world where we do so much with a tap or a click, I love slowing down, getting my hands dirty, and creating something from scratch.

That’s what I hope to share at Chu Chu Chinatown, the simple joy of making something with your own two hands. 🤲✨

Come make something with us.

My creative inspiration started at home.

My mom painted florals and birds onto plates, my dad worked with wood and built things around the house. And my grandmother knitted, folded dumplings like a pro and created things by hand with patience and care.

Growing up surrounded by their creativity taught me to see beauty in craftsmanship, in the details, and in the stories behind the things we all make.

Today, those influences continue to shape the way I create at Chu Chu Chinatown. I’m carrying pieces of my family’s heritage with me, while giving them a new expression through my own work.

Chu Chu Chinatown is a bridge between where I come from, what I grew up with, and what I create today. 💛
