about the studio
Mimochai is an independent artist-run studio based in Los Angeles. We believe in the importance of creativity and mindfulness in all ages. We share these values through our art, books, and classes. Our motto, Live in Wonder, is our north star.
You can find our books and products in our online shop, at in-person markets, and via our wholesale platform on Faire. You can find our mindful creativity classes in Mimochai Studio.
about the artist
Mimi creates all of the art and stories we produce. She is inspired by nature, philosophy, and personal experience. She has always seen picture books as at artform, and her love for meaningful storytelling has only grown since becoming a new mother in 2024.
Mimi is also a former lawyer and advocate for mindful creativity for all ages. She shares her story and approach to creativity through art classes in Mimochai Studio and as a Top Teacher on Skillshare.
"In a gentle way, you can shake the world."
