Hi! I’m Sneha, and I run Lia Mayu Designs @liamayudesigns, named after my two kitties, Lia and Mayu. I design cute and punny food and animal art, with a big focus on cats. (Wild for someone who was terrified of cats just 5 years ago, right?) I also feature my South Indian culture in my work, with designs featuring idlis, vadas, dosas, samosas, and more. Everything I sell was made by me from my home.
I joke sometimes that my art is just a vehicle for my puns. I used to doodle a “corny joke of the day” on a little whiteboard on my office door for my colleagues to enjoy. I’ve always loved crafting and clever wordplay, so this was a natural way to combine two of my joys. I draw what I know – I doodle my cats, martial arts, South Indian food, and whatever my latest interest of the month is.
