About Us | & Pixie

Hey there! We're & Pixie, and we've got a pretty cool story to share. Before we became our own brand, we were actually the creative minds behind many of those paint-by-numbers kits you might've seen out there. Yep, we spent years designing patterns and mixing paints for some of the biggest names in the business – talk about learning the ropes from the inside out!

Then came the quarantine days (we all remember those, right?), and like everyone else, we were looking for ways to stay creative and sane. With our resident feline CEO Pixie keeping us company, we started dreaming bigger. We thought, "Hey, with all this experience under our belts, why not create something that's truly ours?"

And speaking of our inspiration – most of our designs come from our adventures around the world! There's nothing like traveling to spark creativity, and we love turning our favorite moments into art that everyone can enjoy.

 

While people were extremely happy with our designs, we didn't like that our designs were being associated with bad providers (cheap kits, poor shipping, poor QA), which is why...in late 2024, we took the plunge and launched & Pixie. But here's what makes us different – we're total perfectionists about our kits (in the best way possible!). While most companies just run their designs through some automated software and call it a day, we do things the old-school way. Every single design starts as original artwork, and we manually craft each 24, 36, and 48 color version ourselves. And get this – we actually paint every design before we list it. If it's not fun to paint or doesn't look amazing, it doesn't make the cut!

Oh, and about that name? Well, let's just say when you've got a cat who thinks every workspace is her personal runway, things can get... interesting! The '&' in & Pixie came from our chaotic little muse's tendency to add her own artistic touch to everything – usually by walking across keyboards, batting at paintbrushes, or deciding that yes, this perfectly laid-out kit definitely needs some reorganizing. Don't believe us? Check this out:

These days, Pixie's still very much part of the team, though she's more interested in supervising from her sunny spot by the window than getting her paws dirty. We can't blame her – she's earned that promotion to full-time diva!

Everything you need comes right in the box: top-notch canvas, perfectly mixed paints (trust us, we've mixed A LOT of paint over the years), quality brushes, and super clear instructions. We're also teaming up with some incredible artists to bring you even more awesome designs – because who doesn't love variety?

Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day, need a fun activity for a cozy night in, or just want to create something beautiful, we've got you covered. No artistic experience needed – just bring your enthusiasm, and we'll handle the rest!
