Read on to learn more about our story, mission, and values.
Mimochai started out of a desire to find a more meaningful life. Our founder Mimi is a former-lawyer-turned-illustrator. She loved to read and draw while growing up, but she was strongly discouraged by her family from pursuing a creative career.
After four years at a law firm, and well over a decade of not drawing, Mimi went through a long journey to rediscover her own childhood dream of making art and stories.
That's why she is passionate about using her work to encourage creativity and mindfulness in all ages, and hopes to inspire others to find their own true path.
Growing Together
We're excited to be growing our small team of passionate creatives! Our newest team members Crescent and Brittney help with everything from producing our tutorials to carefully packing our customers' orders. It's a dream team for sure.
