One day, around one month after my child was born. I remember the brief moment I felt lonely during my first-time child-rearing. Every day didn’t go as well as I expected it to be. As I had drifted away from work, I didn’t feel any connection to society anymore, and when I was worried about continuously raising children to no end, I thought of one thing. “I want to find my own way to be socially connected.” Since then, I started to get connected with society little by little through helping my mother’s work and volunteering. Then, when I could feel that maybe I could be of some help to others, I remember gradually becoming able to spend my days more productively. After that, when I started selling the baby accessories I designed to the mass retailers, several mom-friends of mine started creating things, too. When they come at me smiling and telling me things like, “I’m so happy to see my creation lined up at the store” or “My child looked so happy wearing it,” I became sure that creating things has the power to enrich one’s life.   Each creation process we embed in our everyday life, such as designing product ideas that match how we work in our lifestyle during that specific time and space, fosters enriched connections in the community and spreads the emotional warmth for the community across generations. I strive to be a warm and comfortable crafting company that gives colors to a specific scene of one’s life.
