Baeyani was created by Momo Manalang, a queer Filipino-American bead and fiber artist based in Queens, NY. Her shop name marries the Tagalog words, "Babae" (Woman) and "Bayani" (Hero), paying homage to the Filipino political prisoners she integrated with between 2019 - 2020. Partial proceeds from her beaded earrings contribute to Malaya Movement's Palayain Campaign, a fund designated for the immediate and long-term needs of Filipino political prisoners and their families.

Hi! I'm Mary Ann, a Korean-American illustrator based in Brooklyn. My art features whimsical little ghost scenes designed to illicit a sense of joy, nostalgia, and exploration. I create art prints, stickers, washi tape, and bookmarks, as well as hand-crafted miniature clay decor and accessories. I hope you'll enjoy the heartfelt charms that little ghosts can bring.

My focus is to create merchandise that can bring a small reminder of fandom into everyday life, such as small ita bags, tote bags, jewelry, wallets, keychains, pins, and stationery!
