Our Story
Hey there! We're Elaine and Keenan, the dynamic duo behind ChonkyWontons! 🎨 By day, we're conquering the design world, but by night (and weekends, and whenever inspiration strikes), we're on a mission to infuse a bit of our vibrant heritage into everyday life.
So, who are we? Well, Elaine brings the full force of her Taiwanese heritage to the table, while Keenan adds his unique blend of Chinese flair (he's proudly 1/4 Chinese, in case you were wondering!). Together, we're like a pot of hotpot—spicy, diverse, and oh-so-delicious!
Our journey into celebrating our culture began with the arrival of our adorable niece, who inspired us to take a deeper dive into our roots. Growing up, we might've been hesitant to fully embrace our heritage, thanks to the typical playground shenanigans and the occasional identity crisis. But hey, who doesn't have a few embarrassing childhood stories, right?
Fast forward to today, and we're all about turning those cultural quirks into something magical. Whether it's designing playful illustrations infused with traditional Chinese motifs or dreaming up innovative ways to incorporate our culture into everyday routines, we're here to sprinkle a little bit of joy and curiosity into the mix. From funky fusion designs to cheeky nods to Asian customs, we're all about making culture cool again – one dumpling at a time! 🥟
Join us as we embrace our roots, one design at a time, and spread a whole lot of joy along the way. Cheers to celebrating culture, creativity, and the wonderful adventure of life!
