🙋🏻♀️ It has been a while since I've introduced myself so I thought what better time than the holiday season 🎄!
Hi. I am Stefanie, the one behind the sometimes cute and funny cards you see on this page. I am a self taught illustrator who is partial to working with watercolour and ink, as well as puns and corny jokes. A perfect combo for card making!
Fun fact: I get asked where the "HEIYA" in my business name came from. My last name is Hirano is Japanese, which means calm or plain field (平野). The same kanji characters can be read as "Heiya", which I thought had a nice ring to it and pulls from my Japanese roots! You can check out the back of my cards to see an image of my Hanko (personalized Japanese stamp)! ☺
I've now been up and running for almost a year and a half and I am so grateful for all the family, friends, fellow makers, and strangers who have helped my business flourish thus far. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my passion 🤍. I hope to create many more cards to make y'all smile!
If you're still reading, thanks for sticking around. I appreciate you!
Xoxo

P.s. if you were planning on ordering cards, the last day to order this year is Thursday, December 2nd!
