Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Heidi, also known as Yumi, and I'm the owner and illustrator of Yumismade.
Growing up, I always enjoyed the arts. Although I pursued an engineering profession, I eventually found myself drawing again in 2020. After sharing my illustrations online for a few years, I found a new joy in bringing my illustrations to life on items that I can share with loved ones.
Even in this digital age, I still love writing in my journal, keeping a physical planner, and decorating stationery items. I find that writing and doing things by hand helps me slow down and be more present. I think that's why I love the handmade nature of our products; as I cut and fold each card by hand, I get to imagine the people it will reach and the variety of messages that will be written inside.
I hope our products give you an opportunity to slow down, help you celebrate a special milestone, or encourage a loved one. It means so much to me that you're here and I hope you find something here that really resonates with you or someone you care about.
Thank you so much for your support of my small creative business!
Our Story
Yumismade offers stationery goods featuring original illustrations. The name Yumismade is derived from my Korean name, Yumi, which means "having beauty". As my closest family and friends call me Yumi, this name has become a sign of closeness, affinity, and love to me. I share handmade creations under my Korean name in hopes that others would find something uniquely beautiful, and that it would feel like it was made for them by theirs truly.
