Hello everyone! My name is Emily, and I'm excited to introduce you to my first backerkit campaign. As an illustrator and ceramic artist originally from Toronto, Ontario, I draw inspiration from many things, including food, nature, and animals. 

From stickers to handmade clay figurines, each piece I create is made with love and care. With your support, I hope to expand my designs and share even more of my creations with the world.

Welcome to Froggy Adventure Part 2, featuring original characters like Kenzo, the adventurous frog prince, his loyal snail mounts, and friends. Embodied in delightful Hard Enamel pins, my artwork captures the spirit of adventure and joy, inspiring smiles wherever they go. 

Born from nostalgic childhood dreams, this pin collection reignites the boundless spirit of chasing aspirations, symbolizing the journey of growth and possibility. From a small design project to a larger endeavor, join us in embracing the limitless dreams of youth.

 The entire Complete Set (Part 1 and 2) will consist of 12 HARD enamel pins, gold planted, with deluxe clutch :)  

 Froggy Adventure Part 2 (6)

Welcome to Pintopia — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of artists collectively running enamel pin crowdfunding projects from March 28th - April 18th.

Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins — All 125+ Pintopia creators have paired up with a fellow participant to create two unique pin designs together. If BOTH projects reach their initial funding goal, backers who support BOTH will get the TWO [2] cross-collab pins for FREE! One from each creator. The more pairs of Pintopia creators you support, the more free pins you will earn ✨
