I’m a Māori European artist born and based in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Growing up here has always been a privilege, but as a kid, finding people who loved the same niche fandom corners I did felt impossible. Sharing my art online changed everything though, it opened up the world to me, and that early community helped shape so much of who I am today.

I started Kittchu in 2020, originally just wanting to make a couple of cute keychains for the movies I loved. Overtime, it grew into something bigger. I’ve never stopped loving fandom art, and it largely inspires the merch and original ideas I’m building now, including my next big project, Starhop. ★
