    Otherwise, feel free to email us at info@kluia.co if you think I’m a good fit for your next contracted project!

  • 〰️ Enamel pins + products 〰️
    I recommend Wizard Pins, GS-JJ, and VOGRACE. Manufacturing enamel pins and anything related to die cast metals is illegal in the United States, so you have to hire outside the country.

    • Wizards Pins and GS-JJ are third-party companies in America so it’s a little more expensive than directly working with China, but you don’t have to worry about translation issues and they’re great at assisting beginners.

    • VOGRACE is not based in the US (they have offices in Canada and manus in China), but their English and customer service are great.

    All three companies have solid reputations.

    〰️ Stickers + sticker sheets 〰️
    I use several companies depending on what kind of sticker I need!

    1. StickerBlitz: ($$) My go-to option. Best sticker quality. Thick, matte, weatherproof vinyl.

    2. CustomStickers: ($) Amazing deals but inconsistent quality in cutlines, print quality, and sizing. When they get it right, the quality is comparable to StickerMule (rest in peace) and StickerBlitz. Good customer service though.

    3. StickerApp: ($) Okay quality. Best for testing new products or for supplying customer freebies.

    4. Sticker Giant: ($$) Quality is really good but can be pricey unless you take advantage of their promos for major bulk orders.

    5. Many Stickers: ($$) California company that I love for experimental prints, like holographic, gold-brushed, and raised designs!

    〰️ Art prints 〰️
    I have several types of prints in my store!

    1. Ego ID Media: ($$) A local San Diego printer that satisfies all my giclée art print needs — archival ink on 300gsm watercolor paper with close color accuracy every time. (If you’re not based in SD, I recommend looking for a local printer that offers gicleé fine art printing.)

    2. Artistic Printers: ($) Another local printer. Their quality is inconsistent but very cheap, so it’s good for testing large prints/projects and temporary signs.

    3. CatPrint: ($$) Highly recommend for bulk orders. Consistent quality, great customer service.

    4. Foil Printing Co.: ($$) Perfect for all foil-related print needs. Their posters are great but they’re best if bought in bulk.

    5. For small prints in small quantities, I use an Epson ET-2850 printer in my studio. You can see the links to those in my Amazon storefront here.

    〰️ Plush toys 〰️
    I signed a contract that prevents me from revealing my partner company and their manufacturer. I highly recommend looking up manufacturers with good reviews on Alibaba since that’s how my partnering company found all of their suppliers!

    〰️ Acrylic charms 〰️
    I work with VOGRACE in China/Canada to create acrylic charms. I have done acrylic charms with other companies before, but they were cheaply made, got scratched easily, and had lots of imperfections. VOGRACE gave the most pleasant manu experience I’ve ever had— easy to communicate with, very professional, and the acrylic epoxy charms protect my designs in a very sturdy way.

    〰️ 〰️ 〰️

    In general, try to seek out local companies! I’ve found that small businesses can be difficult to work with in the beginning, but it’s usually worth it in the end. I hope this helps! And if it does, please support my work however you can, whether it’s a like on social media or a dollar in my store. I appreciate you!! :)

  • Yes, but in extremely limited quantities! Here are some things to note:

    • Most of my ceramic sales are done in person at SJ Made markets and UC San Diego Vendor Fairs

    • For all online ceramic sales, my patrons get first dibs for each new launch!

    I don’t know how long I’ll be working with clay since it’s a true hobby for me and I have limited resources, but feel free to sign up for my newsletter or sign up on Patreon to stay in the loop. ✨

  • The last and final order of Fish the Fox plushies are currently in production and are expected to be in studio in May 2025. All preorder supporters will be notified of shipment details via email as the date nears.

    The Blue-Eared Fox children’s book is still in its sample phase (March 2025). A major update will be posted as soon as samples are finalized.
