Kidcore Sky Unisex Athletic Long Shorts

My work dances at the intersection of empathy and humor, melancholy and joy. Noodlecat allows me to express myself without judgment, to live authentically, joyfully, and freely, and I hope it does that for you, too. I want those who feel burdened or heavy to experience lightness, if only for a moment, through my illustrations and products.

I started Noodlecat Studio on Etsy because I had lost my job as a result of the pandemic and was looking for a way to keep myself occupied. Throughout this difficult time, I came to many self-realizations. I realized I am neurodivergent. I accepted myself as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community (I'm pan and nonbinary). And I realized that illustration can actually help people in a direct way through activism and giving back.

My main goal is to make people smile through my clothing and illustrations. I want people to experience joy and lightness in a world that can sometimes be so dark.
