Just when we need to be reminded to take a moment and maybe a deep breath, Yuko Miki of Honeyberry Studios comes to the rescue with her menagerie of adorable animals and upbeat messaging. She defines loving yourself as an act of resistance, and her offbeat, life-affirming range of stationery and lifestyle merchandise accordingly makes that a reality. Listen in as Yuko shares her experiences that transported her to create Honeyberry and how she incorporates her anti-racism, sustainable values into her work.  All while helping others to embrace the same values in their own lives, one uplifting card at a time!

You should probably choose your words carefully with Krishna Chavda. She is the founder of NANU Studio in Hoboken, New Jersey, and this self-proclaimed Pun Queen has quite a bit to say about the stationery community and maker lifestyle. Connecting people is about much more than just a vibrant palette, engaging plant and animal imagery, and lots of clever word-play — but these provided the framework for Krishna to carve out a niche for a growing brand!
