Serendipity a ɛbae
Two months after our official launch, I reached out to my friend Kyle (lead designer of the original Google Chromecast) to get his input for our design.
He happened to be working with the founder of HydroFlask and asked if I wanted an intro.
Gosh, it was like getting a master class in stainless steel cups and manufacturing best practices.
He happened to be working with the founder of HydroFlask and asked if I wanted an intro.
Gosh, it was like getting a master class in stainless steel cups and manufacturing best practices.
The very first question I asked was if he was connected with any US manufacturers. He told me that there are actually no manufacturers in the US for stainless steel cups. ☹️
Everything I learned was implemented into our design.

Sticker Nhoma ahorow
Once we hired Helen for the mosaic book, we started the search for another artist who could create a sticker book we had in mind.
We saw one fundamental flaw with the sticker books on the market.
All of the scene pages were in the front and all of the sticker sheets were in the back.
What separates our sticker books is not just the incredible artists we partner with, but the fact that the sticker books are spiralbound.
This not only lets the book lie flat on the table, but also allows us to have the sticker sheet right next to the scene.
No more flipping back and forth.
It took us 7 months to get this sticker book into the market, but we built our procedures and our next book will only take 3 months.
This officially is our first sticker book!

TAG Kuw no
I'll never forget the first time I asked Evelyn for advice on handling a customer service email.
There was a customer who messaged us in our 3rd week of being in business.
She said that the cups were too big for her daughter and demanded a refund.
I asked Evelyn what she would do in this situation and without even thinking about her answer, she said "Maybe its almost her daughter's birthday."
So I responded and told her that she had been refunded and the cups were hers to keep because Evelyn wanted to gift her.
Her demeanor completely shifted and Evelyn saw how money can have a powerful impact on people.
Since then, customer appreciation has always been our measure of success, so we assembled a team of incredible rockstars to show love and appreciation to our customers.
TAG stands for "Tactical Appreciation Group".

This was our 7th sticker book.
First book sold in less than 2 minutes after pushing live.
This was our 7th sticker book.
Bandages...
We started working on creating bandages roughly 1.5 years ago.
Hands down, this is the most complex product we've ever created. WAAAAY more difficult than the mosaic book.
The idea is to have 6 different bandage shapes that fill a metal tin with 152 bandages.
Our artists will be creating TONS of incredible designs, but we have to get it right first.
Still a long way to go, but here is the initial prototype.
My First Trip...
Growing up, my family and I never went on a single trip. I'm guessing because we didn't have the money and both parents were always working.
Fun fact. My first trip with my mom was when I was 37.
Traveling has become such a huge part of our family. Maybe it's because I never got to do it as a child or perhaps because our girls tend to get along better.
I'm super excited about our 8th sticker book especially as travel becomes an option again.
Launch date was 4/10/22.
Not all insects are bugs
Making this book taught me something interesting.
All bugs are a type of insect, but not all insects are considered bugs.
I'm incredibly proud of how our 9th sticker book turned out...especially as we wind down summer and reminisce of all the bugs we swatted at.
September 28, 2022 was the launch date and we're all SUPER excited about this one!
Food Trucks...mmmm
The story of our 10th sticker book originated back when hate crimes against Asian folks was rampant.
Quick recap, when the news broke about COVID coming out of Wuhan, China...a lot of people retaliated against Asian people...particularly the elderly.
As you probably noticed from the photo at the top of this page, my family and I are Korean.
The initial idea was to create a sticker book to show how much Asian culture is present in America...particularly, food.
This book took a bit longer than expected and during that time, the hate crimes seemed to have passed. So we made a slight pivot and went with a food truck theme, but hopefully you can see the Asian influence.
More to come
My wife and I are incredibly thankful for the growing community of parents we get to connect with and become friends with every day through the products we make.
Impacting more parents around the world is the only thing that continues to drive this business.
We'll continue adding to this page when we hit new milestones that are worth sharing, but until then... we're here for you if you need anything.
p.s. - would you consider partnering with us?
