About Paulina Hoong
Paulina Hoong is the artist behind Menmin Made, a whimsical watercolor brand based in the Bay Area. Her art is inspired by her family's Chinese restaurant and AAPI culture. Her approach centers on making art feel accessible, low-pressure, and genuinely enjoyable, especially for people who don't identify as "artists." This year, Menmin Made released The Ultimate Journal Bag, an all-in-one stationery organization bag.
Menmin Made has been featured by Buzzfeed, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and the Asian American Women's Artists Association!
