Welcome to my vendor portfolio! I design silly and relatable characters to make you laugh and to bring more color into everyday spaces. Here are 3 reasons to accept me into your event!

My goal as an artist is to communicate positivity! When customers get excited, they laugh, or they tell me that they resonate with my stories, I know I’m doing something right. Here are comments that customers have made about my work:

My work has also attracted over 40k total followers across all social platforms (and counting). Many of them are true fans, actively following my posts about event attendance and exclusive product drops.

I am honored that major corporations and well-established organizations enjoy my work, too! Here are some companies that have worked with me for my illustrative services or who have accepted me into their events:

Thanks to my studies in Studio Arts and Graphic Design, I’ve developed a refreshing style that says a lot with just a little. I illustrate stories of failure and rejection in bold yet lighthearted ways, offering a unique and uplifting experience for curious attendees.

My work helps add more variety to your event as 90% of my merchandise is full of original characters and stories that need no context. Here are some of my best-selling toys and accessories:

At every event, I literally bring something new to the table. I maximize the marketing of events by launching new and/or limited edition products, announcing sales, and releasing handmade ceramic one-offs at my table.

Recently, I’ve been selling limited tickets for traditionally-drawn commissions, my most requested service. I draw whatever the customer wants (as long as it’s safe for work) and they can pick it up at the end of the event or I can ship it to them for free.

I also display a whole collection of Secret Shop items which are exclusively sold in person (or online with a monthly subscription). These are my most sought-after illustrations and they provide great incentive to visit me in person.

In 2023 alone, I’ve tabled at 27 events, including everything from small, local markets to massive, out-of-city conventions. I have intensive layout plans for every table option and my average setup and building times are less than one hour.

Since my first table in 2016, I’ve figured out a pop-up system that makes things run smoothly for everyone I work with. I keep my table organized, easy to pack, and free from clutter. As a result, we are equipped to take orders promptly and customers are left feeling happy about their visit.

It’s also worth noting that my business operates as an LLC with year-round coverage for events, so I am prepared to handle any legal requirements asked of me.

And last but not least, I have a small but mighty team that works hard to keep events fun and professional! We are comprised of artists and art enthusiasts who love attending events in our free time so it’s very easy for us to share event excitement with audiences.

Thanks so much for considering my pop-up shop! I put a lot of work into my products and the customer experience and I hope I get the chance to share that with you. If you would like more info, feel free to email me at contracts@kluia.co. Thank you!
