“Simply because I like cats, I hope to draw something that makes people happy and remembered. This kind of non-verbal communication is a way to connect people. I am a Hong Konger, founder of chillchillcats.”

  • About chillchillcats

    Chillchillcats is a small brand founded by a Hong Konger since July 2022. She moved to the UK and hopes to convey Hong Kong life and the cross culture through illustrations. Cat is the main character in every piece, and the enlarged cats are transformed into fantasy and fiction, which also becomes a kind of projection. The most pupolar item is her customise pet portraits in noble and aristocratic style. She can even draw your pet into her designed background. In November 2023, she opened a store at Leeds Kirkgate Market, featuring her cat-theme drawings and products as well as other craft products made by different independent makers.
