My Little Story
Oh, HELLO THERE! Why you sneak up on me like that?
I’m Viv! In all honesty, I never had a plan for how I started my business. One night during 2020 while sweating over finals, I decided to sculpt a deformed looking frog with butt cheeks. I thought he looked funky so I recreated him again, again, and again. It was then I decided to make him flat and worry stone-like so I could rub him instead of picking my skin. Once I made a silly post on Instagram, things took a really shocking turn. People... LOVED HIM?! Even more shocking... They wanted to see MORE!
It's been almost four years since that day and I'm so grateful I found that old piece of clay hidden in my desk. It was through creating these little critters that I've not only been able to sell my art physically in stores throughout Portland, but meet such beautiful people! I moved from California to Oregon in April of 2023, and just within a few months, I found such a beautiful community that wasn't available to me in California.
I've decided that it'll be my mission to help other people like me. Anxiety and depression have been with me my entire life. Unfortunately, this world has become such a stressful place to live in that I doubt these negative traits will leave Earth anytime soon... But that doesn't mean giving up or conquering it on our own. I've found that having cute comforting items around, gave me a sense of calm and I hope adopting my creations will also bring you a moment of peace.💛
